What is Site Management? The aim of site management is to ensure that services and protection for displaced populations in sites are provided in line with the legal protection frameworks and minimum humanitarian standards. Site Management seeks to ensure accountability to affected populations through participation in management activities. Core functions include coordinating and monitoring assistance and protection, setting up and supporting community participation mechanisms, managing and disseminating information to community members, providing multisector feedback mechanisms, and reducing risks in the sites by improving the site environment through care and maintenance. These activities support other clusters to target their assistance in areas of greatest need.
What is Site Management Support? Site Management Support is provided by humanitarian actors to a designated government counterpart or appointed local organization, for additional support for the management of a site. This can include: supporting in day-to-day coordination and monitoring of assistance and service provision; training and skills building, including by providing appropriate tools; and with relevant equipment; upgrade and maintenance of infrastructures, in agreement with the appointed site management.
