The Nigeria INGO Forum (NIF) was established in 2014 to facilitate collaboration among international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) in Nigeria for humanitarian, development, and peacebuilding efforts. It serves as a vital platform for information sharing, advocacy, and engagement with authorities, donors, and the UN, ensuring the inclusion of INGO perspectives and those of affected populations in decision-making. Governed by a core membership of 53 members and nine observers, it operates under a Steering Committee comprised of five Country Directors and a Chair, supported by a Secretariat.
The purpose of the Humanitarian Safety Officer (HSO) position is to support the establishment and day-to-day operationalisation of NIF's Humanitarian Safety Unit (HSU) for the North-West, providing NIF member organisations with a principled, member-owned safety coordination mechanism.
