Operations Officer - Cameroon (national applicants only), Yaoundé, Cameroon Organization: International NGO Safety Organisation (INSO) Country: Cameroon City: Yaoundé Office: INSO in Yaoundé Organization Background Founded in 2011, the International NGO Safety Organization (INSO) is an international NGO that supports humanitarian aid workers by establishing safety coordination platforms in insecure contexts. INSO provides registered NGOs with a range of free services, including real-time incident tracking, analytical reports, safety-related data and mapping, crisis management support, staff orientations, and training. INSO provides daily support to more than 1,350 NGOs operating in 24 of the world's most insecure countries. INSO is registered in the Netherlands, with its headquarters located in The Hague, a city renowned for its international focus on peace and justice. INSO Cameroon INSO Cameroon began operations in 2017 as one of the INSO offices for the Lake Chad Basin and was launched as an autonomous Mission in late 2021. Today, the program has a regional office in Bamenda and an antenna in Maroua. The national office is located in Yaounde, the capital. Armed group fragmentation, intercommunal violence, climate-related disasters and weak socio-economic infrastructure have generated significant humanitarian needs in one of the world's most neglected crises, where access and safety risks for NGOs remain high and where INSO's field-based data, crisis support, alerts, coordination and contextual analysis are essential

- •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
- •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
- •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
- •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
- •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
- •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
