Home 2 | Results-Based Protection

Results-based protection is a problem-solving approach used to address complexity and the ever-changing environment that surrounds protection issues in humanitarian action. The approach embraces aspects of systems-practice, design-thinking, foresight analysis and planning, and other comparable methods that emphasize iteration, adaptability, relationships, and interconnectedness. It underscores the importance of starting from the perspective of those experiencing violence, coercion, and deliberate deprivation articulating the desired outcome as reduced risk.
