In this latest episode, Matt Stockton (GISF’s Technical Security Risk Management Lead), joins Emily Wright (GISF’s Research Officer) for a frank conversation on the successes and learnings from his recent mission in the Middle East. 

Matt spent several weeks in Jordan and Lebanon during the Israel-Hezbollah conflict. During his time in the region, Matt was seconded to LHIF – the Lebanon Humanitarian INGO Forum. Working closely with the Forum, Matt helped to improve security coordination and training in the region, to protect aid workers during a moment of heightened risk and uncertainty. Matt was also supported by ACF – Action Against Hunger – which hosted him during his time in Lebanon.
