About HALO:
HALO is the leading global NGO addressing the impact and drivers of conflict in 30 countries and territories, with over 8,000 staff. Most of our staff are local employees and include a growing number of women.
Our primary duty is to serve people affected by conflict, clearing landmines and the explosive remnants of war that threaten lives and livelihoods long after fighting has finished. We make land safe where war has ended, while also assisting those affected by active conflict and endemic violence.
HALO addresses human suffering caused by armed violence in some of the world’s most fragile places, securing weapons and ammunition and working with both state and community actors to reduce the prevalence of armed violence.
Since its founding, HALO has been at the forefront of technological and procedural developments in Humanitarian Mine Action and we use a wide range of equipment and techniques to find and remove explosive hazards. In 2025 HALO published its Technology Strategy, which outlines a bold five-year plan to revolutionise humanitarian mine action through targeted investment in advanced technologies for location, detection, and excavation. The strategy aims to dramatically improve safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness across our global operations.
This strategy marks a significant shift in HALO’s approach to innovation, moving from incremental improvements to transformative change. To deliver on this ambition, HALO is expanding its Research and Development team with new roles dedicated to driving forward each pillar of the strategy.
