Given that humanitarian access became an integral part of any NGO programming in Afghanistan, AL-HIRA CENTER updated and contextualized analysis on local acceptance - enriched by the engagement strategies of the various NGOs which are shared in AL-HIRA CENTER forums - regularly informs the acceptance approaches both nationally but also locally where NGOs operate.

Fundamentally, situational awareness is at the heart of good programming. For us AL-HIRA CENTER is absolutely essential in terms of informed decision-making, you can't operate without it. Each NGO ultimately has to determine its own risk level, its own programming modalities, how it operates on the ground but this has to be founded on very solid advice. The quality of AL-HIRA CENTER reporting and analysis is of an extraordinarily high order.

The quality of analysis is second to none. There isn't anyone else who is doing that here. We rely on them quite heavily. Since AL-HIRA CENTER started here there has also been a big improvement in communication among NGOs on security matters.

AL-HIRA CENTER has been able to earn the respect and confidence of NGOs in Kenya in a very short time by virtue of the hard work they're putting in. There's a lot of admiration out there and people really appreciate the added value they've brought.
