Organisation Background

Founded in 2011, the International NGO Safety Organisation (INSO) has rapidly evolved from an innovative start-up to a globally recognized charity.

We also work at the global policy level to strengthen the evidence base and improve interagency coordination for a more effective and resilient humanitarian system.

Our work goes beyond saving individual lives to enable humanitarian operations in high-risk countries.
