Context

The principle on which humanitarian action is based is to preserve the lives and dignity of populations in distress. This action cannot be achieved without safeguarding our human and material resources.

Due to MSF’s explicit choice to intervene in conflict areas and often resource poor environments with significant financial and material assets, combined with our commitment to the most vulnerable populations often contravenes the interests of those who perpetrate the violence, the provision of humanitarian aid often entails physical and mental risks to our staff. These factors, among others, define MSF as a risk-taking organization.

Historically, the environment in which MSF works has always been dangerous and we have regularly been confronted with violence against our patients, staff and assets.

The responsibility for operational risk management lies first and foremost with the individual members of staff within an operational risk management framework under the responsibility of the operational line/hierarchy (FieldCo-HoM-CO-DO). The role of the Operational Risk Advice Unit, is to support operations in managing this operational risk management framework with field support/visit, training, tools and systems that are updated with the latest findings in the humanitarian risk management expertise world. This requires notably a permanent lessons learnt feedback loop from live experiences in the operations to the Unit and from the Unit to the operations. Another key responsibility, it is to maintain with the support of the director committee, a crisis management capacity.

This Unit is inside the Operations Department under the directors of operations.
