Mainstreaming Protection in Camp Coordination & Camp Management

Attachments

Camp coordination and camp management actors are responsible for managing and coordinating assistance and services to displaced populations in communal settings in a manner that promotes their safety, dignity and integrity. By mainstreaming protection1 into CCCM programs, humanitarian actors can support displaced persons access and enjoy their rights; help IDPs reside safely in camp settings and improve their quality of life and dignity during displacement.

This note provides guidance on how to practically mainstream protection into camp management programmes in Yemen. It is divided into four sections, representing the four key elements of Protection Mainstreaming. The content is not meant to be exhaustive, but presents examples of key actions that should be taken to ensure the incorporation of protection elements in the management of camps inside Yemen.
