International NGO Safety Organisation - Afghanistan (INSO)
The security situation in Afghanistan is becoming increasingly difficult. International NGO Safety Organisation provides Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) with the necessary advice and services to maintain their operations and reach the vulnerable population. SDC and Swiss partners rely on INSO services to be able to stay engaged in Afghanistan. SDC’s support allows strengthening an independent and professional organization working for risk mitigation for NGOs in a fragile context.

Hintergrund |
The deteriorating security situation has become evident in 2015. While International Military Forces disengaged from the conflict, Armed Opposition Groups are now able to engage Afghan National Security Forces in more conventional warfare. Afghan National Security Forces maintained a tenuous hold over large population centers, until Armed Opposition Groups conducted a large offensive in the provincial capital Kunduz and captured it. The incident, unprecedented in the last decade, exposed weaknesses in the security forces. NGOs are increasingly affected by the volatile context. There have been several profoundly troubling incidents in 2015 which brought the NGOs’ safety and security in question. |
