About HALO:
HALO is the leading global NGO addressing the impact and drivers of conflict in 30 countries and territories, with over 8,000 staff. Most of our staff are local employees and include a growing number of women.
Our primary duty is to serve people affected by conflict, clearing landmines and the explosive remnants of war that threaten lives and livelihoods long after fighting has finished. We make land safe where war has ended, while also assisting those affected by active conflict and endemic violence.
HALO addresses human suffering caused by armed violence in some of the world's most fragile places, securing weapons and ammunition and working with both state and community actors to reduce the prevalence of armed violence.
