About us
Saferworld is an independent non-governmental organisation that works to prevent and reduce violent conflict and promote cooperative approaches to security.
We work with governments, international organisations and civil society to encourage and support effective policies and practices through advocacy, research and policy development and through supporting the actions of others.
Established in 1989, we work in Africa, Asia and Europe. We have staff based in our offices in London and Nairobi, and in all the regions in which we work.
We receive funding from a range of donors including governments, the European Commission, trusts and individuals. Find out more about our funders on our funding page and how you can support us.
Read more about our work and funding in our latest annual review.
