Rising Humanitarian Challenges
As armed conflicts, health emergencies, cyber threats, and staff burnout intensify, NGOs face growing risks to their teams in the field. At the same time, budgets are shrinking cost-cutting is no longer a precaution it’s a necessity. Yet, Duty of Care a core moral and legal obligation remains central to NGO responsibilities
