SIIM Roadmap

Robust incident data collection and analysis can allow senior management to make strategic and policy-level decisions. These decisions may include:

• In which countries to operate
• Security strategies to prioritise (acceptance, protection, or deterrence)
• Ways to communicate about programs to beneficiaries donors the public and other stakeholders
• When to use incident information for advocacy purposes.

Incident data can evidence:

• Violence against aid workers
• Disruption of aid
• Humanitarian access restrictions
• Violence against or challenges faced by local populations.

This information can lead to policy activities related to:

• Improving humanitarian access
• The protection of aid workers
• Adherence to international humanitarian law
• Raising awareness of operational constraints and security issues with donors stakeholders and other actors
• Seeking justice for victims of breaches of criminal humanitarian or human rights law.

Individuals or specific cases should never be exposed for the purpose of making a political point. Collective data reduces this risk through anonymity in numbers.
