The global humanitarian and development sectors are facing rising operational risks alongside shrinking financial resources.
According to the 2024 Aid Worker Security Database report, 2023 was the most fatal year on record for aid workers, with 280 deaths across 33 countries. At the same time, major donors, including the USA, the UK, Netherlands, France, Germany and Switzerland, are reducing their foreign aid budgets, threatening the continuity of life-saving programs, as well as the safety and well-being of the staff delivering them.
DevelopmentAid, in collaboration with International Location Safety (ILS), invites you to a critical webinar exploring how organizations can navigate these dual challenges. This 60-minute session will bring together leaders in humanitarian security and policy to shape innovative, cost-effective strategies that promote staff safety and well-being amid financial strain.
Key takeaways:
- - The impact of donor budget cuts on staff safety and operational resilience
- - Innovative and collaborative approaches to humanitarian security risk management
- - How capacity-sharing, cross-sector coordination, and digital training tools can sustain staff care amid crisis
- - Practical insights from leading organizations, networks, and institutions responding to the growing security challenges
The webinar will take place on
17 July 2025 at 3 pm (Brussels)/9 am (Washington, DC)
