Every day, humanitarian workers negotiate with different counterparts – from armed groups to government authorities, and from religious leaders to displaced communities – to deliver aid in crisis situations. To negotiate successfully, these professionals need to carefully analyse the situation, create a strategic plan, and manage very high pressure.

The podcast series “Frontline Negotiators: Stories from the Field” guides you through personal stories told by humanitarian professionals who negotiate to access, assist and protect people in crisis.

The series is produced by the Centre of Competence on Humanitarian Negotiation – a shared initiative of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Médecins Sans Frontières Switzerland, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, and the UN World Food Programme.

New episodes are released biweekly until December 2023.
