Many humanitarian organizations come into contact with counterterrorism measures, country-specific sanctions, and related legal requirements. Developing strong internal risk management systems can help minimise or prevent negative consequences of these measures on their humanitarian work. In this online seminar, you will learn how to analyze associated risks. You will also identify policies and procedures agencies can adopt to mitigate the identified risks.
This course will take place on 18 and 19 October and will include regular breaks. The training follows on from the September 2021 course "Counterterrorism Measures, Sanctions and Humanitarian Work".
