Library
The library is part of an EISF project to build an extensive online knowledge centre on humanitarian security, to encourage policy sharing and facilitate the better-informed review and refreshing of security management by NGOs. All documents are open-source and free to download.
If you have authored, published or are aware of any documents which could contribute to this library, please bring it to the attention of the EISF Projects and Membership Officer. If documents are sensitive, all organisational affiliation can be removed before posting.
