Role Context
The Global Interagency Security Forum (GISF) is an independent platform for security focal points from Global humanitarian agencies operating overseas. GISF emerged in 2006 as an independent NGO network, facilitating collaboration and information exchange on humanitarian security-risk management at the strategic, systematic and policy level. Over the past 15 years, the Forum has established itself as a global reference point and centre of excellence for applied practice, collective knowledge and current challenges in humanitarian security-risk management.
Recognising that NGOs need to develop expertise in security-risk management in order to deliver aid effectively in unpredictable operating environments, GISF’s vision is to continue to grow as a global hub for humanitarian security risk management for NGOs and other stakeholders that impact on security risk management in the humanitarian space.

Format
MAG is pleased to announce a new partnership with the Global Interagency Security Forum (GISF). GISF is an independent, NGO-led peer support network that provides a platform for global security focal points to share experiences, knowledge and learning to access the most difficult to reach communities while keeping aid workers safe.
MAG is currently a member of GISF and will now be the European host from 2021.
“Due to GISF’s set-up, we require a hosting organisation to enable our operations and are very pleased to have MAG as the new host,” says GISF’s Executive Director Lisa Reilly. “We are looking forward to continuing to work with MAG, as a member organisation, on improving humanitarian security risk management.”
