Results-based protection is a problem-solving approach used to address complexity and the ever-changing environment that surrounds protection issues in humanitarian action. It's an approach which aims for results - results which are a reduction in actual risks that people face. It underscores the importance of starting from the perspective of those experiencing violence, coercion, and deliberate deprivation, and embraces aspects of systems-practice, design-thinking, and other comparable methods that emphasize iteration, adaptability, relationships, interconnectedness, and strategic collaboration to achieve protection outcomes.

Attention all protection enthusiasts (You too, gender-based violence; child protection; mine action; and housing, land, and property experts)!

How have you embraced the Key Elements of Results-Based Protection in your work to address a protection issue in a humanitarian crisis?

For the first time, InterAction is pleased to invite members of our broad community to participate in a contest to collect examples of results-based approaches to protection in practice! The contest opens on September 15 and closes on December 15, 2020. Winners and prizes will be announced on InterAction's RBP website on January 22, 2021.

InterAction is looking for examples that genuinely represent one or more of the Key Elements of RBP and support the achievement of results (e.g. intermediate changes in attitude, knowledge, behavior, practice, or policy), and ultimately, a protection outcome of reduced risk.

Want to read more about what sort of examples we're looking for, who can submit an example (hint: anyone involved in protection work in humanitarian crises), and what the prizes are? Click HERE.
