Our projects

We support organisations in monitoring, research and analysis.

Monitoring and Analysis

Aid in Danger

Aid in Danger

The Aid in Danger project collects information on any event that interferes with the delivery of aid, including threats and incidents of violence against aid workers and aid agencies and its effects on access for aid agencies. Aid in Danger is a collaborative project with over 25 aid agencies.

Aid in Danger makes information and analysis available to aid security professionals and policy makers.

Education in Danger

Education in Danger

Educators, students and schools are attacked or threatened in many countries around the world. Our Education in Danger project monitors open sources and produces regular updates on reported attacks on education.

We work in collaboration with the Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack (GCPEA).

Conflict-Related Sexual Violence

Conflict-Related Sexual Violence

Insecurity Insight documents publicly reported incidents of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV), political sexual violence, and sexual violence affecting aid workers, health workers and aid beneficiaries, including refugees or internally displaced people. As part of the project, a series of country profiles have been developed which analyse patterns and dynamics of CRSV based on Insecurity Insight’s event-based data. More information is available here.

Social Media Monitoring

Social Media Monitoring

Using proprietary technology powered by AI, Insecurity Insight collects and analyzes social media data to perform sentiment analysis on topics related to aid. The analysis helps aid organizations gauge the scale and potential impact of positive or negative sentiment towards their programs or teams, supporting humanitarian access and security risk management. Find out more here.
