During recent work in Ukraine and conversations with humanitarian organizations operating in high-risk environments, one topic keeps returning: drones. From Ukraine to Sudan and beyond, the widespread use of drones is creating new challenges for humanitarian access, staff safety, acceptance, and security risk management.

The question is no longer whether drones will affect humanitarian operations, but whether we are adapting quickly enough.

In our latest blog, we explore how drone warfare is reshaping the humanitarian landscape and what NGOs can do to better prepare for this evolving threat.

Drones are reshaping conflict and humanitarian risk. How aid organizations must adapt security, risk thresholds, and operations. Are we keeping up?

Ukraine continues to face enormous humanitarian and security challenges. During our recent visit, we had the privilege of supporting humanitarian efforts and advising NGOs on how to manage risks and operate safely in an evolving conflict environment.

Travelling through areas such as Kherson Oblast, the scale of destruction is immediately apparent. But so too is the commitment to recovery.

The demining activities shown in this video are a powerful example. Before reconstruction can take place, land must first be made safe. Each cleared field and each removed explosive hazard brings communities one step closer to rebuilding their future.

Recovery is a long process, but it is already underway.

Over the years, clients have regularly asked us to share our thoughts and experiences on topics related to security risk management, crisis management, and working in complex environments.

We've now taken the first step: short blogs to discuss these topics a bit more in depth.

Our first blog focuses on Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) and why realistic preparation helps humanitarian professionals operate more safely and confidently in challenging contexts.

More articles will follow in the coming months as we share lessons, practical insights, and perspectives from the field.

Learn how HEAT training helps humanitarian professionals stay safe, prepared, and effective in high-risk and unstable environments worldwide.

We know all too well how drones are used in conflict and violence.

Today, on International Drone Day, we also appreciate their positive, functional, and even inspiring applications: to transport lifesaving medicines quickly between cities, to inspect high places, to train, and to see the world from a different angle.

This is our training location at Klooster Nieuw Sion, seen from above. Where we train NGO staff how to deal with drones in conflict zones but also secretly enjoy the magnificent views from our drones.

Vorige week zijn de Olympische Winterspelen 2026 officieel beëindigd. TeamNL eindigde op een indrukwekkende derde plaats en keerde naar huis terug met maar liefst 20 medailles! We hebben de sporters de afgelopen maand volop aangemoedigd en zijn enorm trots op hun prestaties. Welkom thuis, TeamNL!

Ook binnen Global Risk Advice zijn we trots op onze collega Jacob, die als veiligheidscoördinator zich de afgelopen maand in Milaan onvermoeibaar heeft ingezet voor de veiligheid van TeamNL, evenals in de maanden van voorbereiding voorafgaand aan de Spelen.

Een speciale dank gaat in het bijzonder uit naar de vele collega's, Teamnl Huis, Papendal en daarnaast Politie Nederland voor de fijne samenwerking, en het Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken voor hun waardevolle inzet.

En nu… op naar de Paralympische Winter Spelen, die in vertrouwde handen zijn onder de leiding van Esther Vergeer!

Our Local page is LIVE! 🔴

Our website highlights our international work, but did you know that we are also active within the broader Benelux region? Organizations who meet us during trainings in this region are sometimes surprised to learn that we operate close to home as well.

Our Benelux partnerships span a wide range of sectors: civil society organizations, educational institutions, municipal bodies, and various community-focused initiatives.

By sharing more about our regional involvement, we aim to provide clarity: the reason you may encounter us in a Dutch training or project is simple—we are trusted locally, as well as internationally. Our work in the Benelux is an important part of what we do, and it strengthens the global perspective we bring to every assignment.

Travelling all over the world, our teams always come back home to our training base in the Netherlands! And during the last HEATs our base was a fairytale. This is the base today with a fresh layer of snow!

Luckily our participants were well prepared for this volatile environment.

Staying effective in a changing risk landscape means never standing still.

At Global Risk Advice, we continuously update our knowledge and skills. Yesterday, our team spent the day refreshing first aid competencies and delving deeper into the latest developments around drones and their uses in conflict and other settings and their impact on NGO-presence worldwide.

Why? So we can best serve, equip, and prepare the NGO staff we train across the globe. By staying current, we ensure our trainings are practical, relevant, and grounded in today’s realities — helping humanitarian teams operate more safely and confidently wherever they work.

Learning, adapting, and sharing knowledge helps us to help you.

As many of our past participants will recognize, at the end of our trainings, we usually ask each participant to tell us in two words "how was your training?" The collection of words that come from these after every training are always inspiring to read and reflect on.

As we look back on this year, we are grateful for the opportunity to train and support hundreds of NGO staff—both locally and across the globe. From the Netherlands and Belgium to Ukraine, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Germany, Sweden, Uganda, and beyond, we stood alongside dedicated professionals committed to making a difference.

Throughout the year, we also supported organizations through a wide range of security and monitoring consultancies, and worked closely with local schools and institutions to strengthen their capacity in de-escalation and crisis management. We also celebrated the achievements of our own colleagues who completed educational courses, studies, and trainings—continuing to grow our internal expertise so we can better empower others in their mission to bring hope where it’s needed most.

Last, but certainly not least, we extend our heartfelt thanks to all our partners for their trust and continued support. It has been an honor to serve as your security partner, and we look forward to all that the new year will bring.

From all of us at Global Risk Advice, a very happy holidays!
