The study by the Humanitarian Policy Group/ODI, Humanitarian Outcomes and the Center on International Cooperation/NYU, serves to update the Providing Aid in Insecure Environments report released in 2006. The initial report to date remains the only comprehensive source of data on major incidents of violence against aid workers, covering not only UN agencies but the humanitarian community writ large. The 2009 Update provides the most up-to-date data on incident rates as well as a new state of the art analysis of the security challenges currently facing aid workers.
