About HALO:
HALO is the leading humanitarian mine clearance organisation globally, addressing the impact and drivers of conflict in 30+ countries and territories, with over 10,000 staff. Most of our staff are local employees and include a growing number of women.
Our primary expertise is serving 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, creating more durable solutions to support stability. 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.
In recent years HALO has grown significantly. With strong government, community and partner relationships, HALO is uniquely positioned to help build more resilient and prosperous communities, which are better equipped to respond to the interconnected global challenges of conflict, climate change, political and economic instability. As a result, the nature of HALO’s programming is diversifying to increase the impact we have in the context of these global challenges.
