Small Change NGO Security

NGO Security – security skills for aid workers – is important. So many on our planet need help from aid work and aid organisations, and since the 1990´s, the risks and threats to aid workers have increased year by year. NGO Security covers the skills, training, awareness and intent that help them help others, safer, and longer. On this blog we give information about them and about activist sustainability. Helping someone is easy: to help others over long time and safely, recquires skill.

Red Cross aid-workers kidnapped in DRC, Congo: update

The eight Red Cross-workers who were kidnapped in DRC, the Democratic Republic of Kongo, Kivu province, on the 13^th of April still remain with their captors. You can read an update on the situation on this link:

The Red Cross have good contact with the kidnappers, and stable lines of communication have been established with the aid-workers.

Coming soon is our report on the NGO Security Conference 2010, with a special overview of hostage negotiator Suzanne Williams´s workshop.

We hope the situation for the eight aid-workers resolves smoothly, and that they can reunite with their families as soon as possible.
