Third-Party Monitoring

Our ability to access and operate in high-risk areas is not out of luck, it is made possible due to:

Well-established operational local presence: local teams, offices and proven presence in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Yemen.

Developed and growing local network (based on mutual trust): Governmental and non-governmental organizations, unions and associations, and influential individuals (going as far as the district and community level).

Up-to-date and complete awareness: Keeping abreast of the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Yemen, from national and regional levels to sub-national and local levels.

Awareness of local sensitivities and dynamics: Respecting and giving full, deliberate consideration to all social, cultural, religious, and political factors at play.
