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.

It is funded by OFDA and supported by Save the Children US.
