The Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Protection Policy was endorsed by the IASC Principals in October 2016. The Policy outlines the overarching framework for how humanitarian actors can fulfill their responsibility to place protection at the center of all aspects of humanitarian action, spelling out core principles, approaches, roles, and responsibilities within and beyond the humanitarian system.
This report presents key findings related to Collaboration, Learning, and Adaptation (CLA) through an analysis of 2015 USAID CLA Case Competition submissions. The findings yield important learnings for integration of CLA within the program cycle and the Enabling Environment (Resources, Processes, and Culture) needed to achieve outcomes in the development space, but can also be applied to protection outcomes.
On June 2nd 2021, the International Association of Professionals in Humanitarian Assistance and Protection (PHAP) organized a launch event of the report titled Towards Principled Humanitarian Action in Conflict Contexts – Understanding the Role of Partnerships: Voices from Nigeria and South Sudan.
InterAction is leading an effort to develop a “Results-Based Evaluation Framework for SGBV Prevention in Humanitarian Crises” in order to track SGBV prevention and demonstrate outcomes in the form of measurably reduced risk. It is expected that such a framework will be practical enough for field-level use across crisis contexts where a diversity of SGBV risks are experienced by diverse population groups.
This document summarizes key points and questions that have emerged after 3 years of exploring results-based protection.
In September 2020, for the first time, InterAction launched a contest to collect examples from the humanitarian community demonstrating how they have embraced the Key Elements of Results-Based Protection (RBP) in their work to address protection issues in humanitarian crises.
As a submission to the 2020 Results-Based Protection (RBP) Good Practice Contest, Elena Bartoloni from the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) team in Iraq presented a tool that is designed to facilitate a community-based and participatory approach to the identification, prioritization, and analysis of protection risks. The tool, awarded “Runner-Up” in the RBP contest, provides an excellent framework for light-touch context-specific protection analysis according to the risk equation, a key element of Results-Based Protection (RBP).
