Journalists in Haiti work under incredibly dangerous conditions marked by political instability and the pervasive threat of organised criminal gangs. To address these challenges, the Fondation Connaissance et Liberté (FOKAL) asked Open Briefing to provide safety and security training to a cohort of Haitian journalists.

The partnership of Open Briefing’s holistic security expertise and FOKAL's country knowledge and networks formed the perfect foundation from which to navigate Haiti's volatile security environment successfully.
