Restrata, a global leader in safety, security & emergency response consultancy and training services, has joined the International Stability Operations Association (ISOA) as an approved member.
Melissa Sabin, president of ISOA Middle East and Africa chapter explained: “Restrata is a valuable asset to ISOA, having more than a decade’s experience working in the region, covering some of the most challenging environments.
“The knowledge they will bring to our network will be invaluable to members choosing to operate in the Middle East and Africa, and so far in 2018, Restrata has supported the sharing of experience and best practice by sponsoring our Dubai conference in March and a networking event in May.”
ISOA is a global partnership of private sector and nongovernmental organisations providing critical services in fragile environments worldwide. ISOA works every day to build, serve and represent a network of organizations by providing diverse member services, publications and events. Through communication and engagement, ISOA also builds partnerships across sectors to enhance the effectiveness of stability, peace and development efforts across the globe.
Botan Osman, managing director of Restrata, said: “We are excited to join ISOA and believe strongly in the need for cooperation and collaboration between all members and stakeholders involved. This joint effort will be beneficial for not only our organisations, but also for the countries who need support to improve stability through proactive development.”
