About Crisis Action
Crisis Action is an international, non-profit organisation which aims to help avert conflicts, prevent human rights abuses and ensure governments fulfil their obligations to protect civilians.
Crisis Action works behind the scenes to support a diverse range of partners who are all concerned with tackling the immediate effects or long-term consequences of conflict. We aim to help them increase the impact of their responses to current and emerging conflict-related crises.
Crisis Action operates in a flexible manner with partners choosing to engage in temporary 'opt-in' alliances on specific crises.
The support we provide is determined by the specific circumstances of each crisis and may include:
- Warning of emerging crises and prompting early responses
- Sharing information and analysis between partners
- Research and analysis of Government policy
- Facilitating partner dialogue
- Negotiating joint policy platforms
- Coordination of agreed partner action plans
- Planning and executing joint campaigns
- Evaluation of the effectiveness of joint responses to crises
Crisis Action has offices in Berlin, Brussels, Cairo, London, Nairobi, New York and Paris.
