“In deciding where to set up programmes, an NGO has to invest their own money on security analysis, whereas if we outsource this to an entity like Signpost Philippines it is much more cost effective to the whole NGO community.”

-
"Given that humanitarian access became an integral part of any NGO programming in Philippines, Signpost Philippines updated and contextualised analysis on local acceptance - enriched by the engagement strategies of the various NGOs which are shared in Signpost Philippines forums - regularly informs the acceptance approaches both nationally but also locally where NGOs operate."

“We work in hard to reach communities where security is not always good - I think right now in Iloilo City there is no place where you can say it is 100% safe. So what Signpost Philippines does actually helps our work in that they are able to bring up issues or even a forecast of what could happen and then we are able to make decisions based on that information.”
