A Thoughtful, Analytical Approach to NGO Security

Analysis 101: Geographic Distribution Analysis 2

As Paul pointed out it would be beneficial to compare our office location (the blue square) with the IED incidents. We’ve also added military installations (the green squares) and the primary military convoy routes (marked in orange dashes) as these are likely targets.

Geographic Distribution Example Map 2

A search for more information reveals the following:

You have two small low-key programs operating in town.
The bulk of programming takes place in other areas of the country but staff travelling to the field offices are forced to take one of the major roads.
The main road to the east is the only viable route to access offices in the east.
Local staff travel back and forth to work by public transport or personal vehicles using all the main roads.
International staff travel to and from work in agency vehicles.
The first military convoys of the day are usually between 0600 and 0900.
