The Status of Frontline Humanitarian Workers
CWSA is thrilled to announce the launch of ‘The Status of Frontline Humanitarian Workers’ Research study that it has been a part of in its research and Steering Committee. This study set out to assess the working conditions of frontline workers, better understand their unique challenges and needs, and offer practical recommendations to enhance their wellbeing and effectiveness. Specifically, it aimed to address the following four questions:
- What are the environmental and working conditions of frontline workers?
- To what extent do frontline workers have access to resources, training and support systems?
- What contractual terms and conditions, compensation and benefits are available to frontline workers?
How do these factors affect the wellbeing, resilience, and effectiveness of frontline workers, and what can be done to improve support?
The report’s recommendations aim to guide funders, policymakers and humanitarian organizations to craft interventions that account for frontline workers’ welfare, ensuring that humanitarian responses are more resilient.
