IASC Policy on Protection in Humanitarian Action: an Aide-Memoire (October 2024)

Attachments

This Aide Memoire is intended to clarify and reinforce the key elements of the IASC Policy on Protection in Humanitarian Action of 2016 (IASC Protection Policy). It is aimed at Humanitarian Coordinators and Humanitarian Country Teams (HCTs) to support their implementation of the policy at country level. It should be read in conjunction with both the Policy and the Benchmarks for HCT Collective Implementation of the IASC Policy (the IASC Protection Benchmarks). It is based on consultations with field practitioners.
