Niger: Working Together for Safe Access During the Covid-19 Pandemic - the Red Cross Society of Niger and the ICRC

press release

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) – working closely with National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies - developed the Safer Access Framework (SAF) between 2002 and 2003. The SAF supports National societies to prepare for and respond safely and effectively to humanitarian needs in sensitive and insecure contexts.

The SAF is relevant for National Societies at all times, not only during situations involving violence - because securing and maintaining safe access is essential. But in order to secure such access, National Societies have to first earn the trust and acceptance of both people and communities in need and those who control access to them.
