‘Due Diligence, What Next?’ Housing, Land and Property (HLP) Implications for Protection in Practice: Coordination between CCCM, Shelter and Protection - GPC Forum 2020
Housing Land and Property issues cut across many aspects of crisis response including activities carried out under Shelter, CCCM and Protection clusters. This session will focus on what happens when due diligence Standards and processes meet the complex reality of an emergency context. Conducting due diligence enables humanitarian actors to ask critical questions before embarking on activities that depend on housing, land and natural resources. But what happens when this due diligence uncovers complex issues like pre-existing conflicts, multiple rights-holders, and ‘owners’ refusing the construction of emergency shelters and sanitation facilities? How do humanitarian actors respond? This session will explore practical approaches to coordination and collaboration with and across protection, shelter, CCCM and others in response to this issue. The discussion will be based around examples and experiences that draw together skills and techniques from across the sectors. Participants will...
Mine Action: Consultations on Mine Action AoR Guidance Requirements - GPC Forum 2020
Mine Action in emergency settings is a critical life-saving humanitarian activity in itself and an enabler of other humanitarian activities. The Mine Action Area of Responsibility (MA AoR) is a field-oriented coordination mechanism that aims to ensure a predictable, accountable, and effective mine action response in emergencies. It envisions a world in which people living in humanitarian emergencies are protected from explosive ordnance and needs of victims are realized. This session aims to seek the views of MA AoR coordinators, members and partners on strategic and operational guidance required to adapt to current and emerging challenges. Important thematic areas may include: guidance on the relationship between the global MA AoR and in-country MA AoR; definitions of responsibility and synergy between different entities; new areas of work outside of traditional humanitarian mine action; governance, cooperation with national authorities and local actors including NGOs within the...
Risk Communication And Community Engagement: New Ways of Working on the Digital Frontline - GPC Forum 2020
Effective RCCE is the provision of clear, context appropriate and accountable answers to the questions that matter to affected communities and is an area of aid increasingly seen to require more intentional thought, resourcing and inter-agency coordination. Increasingly, communication is seen no longer a space of innovation, but as fundamental to protection work and humanitarian response. While this holds great opportunity for defining the future of humanitarian response, it also presents risks surrounding the lingering ‘digital divide’, data protection and safeguarding. Organized by IRC, UNHCR, IOM and UNICEF, this webinar will focus on exploring emerging best practice in digital delivery of RCCE and information services, while creating a space for stakeholders to present risks and opportunities in digital communications. Date & Time: Thursday 1 October 2020, 16:00 Geneva time
Preventing GBV in Humanitarian Crises: Advancing What We Know Works and Measuring GBV Outcomes - GPC Forum 2020
This event proposes to look at several initiatives and programs that can highlight what we know is working and where additional effort is needed to strengthen prevention strategies and programs in humanitarian crises. It will also provide an opportunity for open discussion and input into a draft Framework that aims to serve as a resource for helping organizations improve how they analyze, design, and implement prevention programs in order that they can be effectively measured to achieve GBV outcomes. Date & Time: Thursday 1 October 2020, 15:00 Geneva Time
A Roundtable on Preparedness for Protection in the Context of Disasters and Climate Change - GPC Forum 2020
Preventing and preparing for internal displacement during armed conflict is notoriously difficult. In comparison, the predictable, cyclical or slow-onset nature or geographic location of many hazards, such as hurricane season, volcanic eruptions or droughts, means that much can be done to avoid disaster displacement in the first place or reduce the risk of displacement, through disaster risk reduction (DRR), climate change adaptation and development measures that address the underlying causes of displacement. Organized by UNHCR, GPC, IOM and the GBV AoR, the focus of the Roundtable will be to discuss the greater involvement of the GPC, field clusters and AoRs and their role in preparedness efforts and including necessary preparedness measures in their protection strategies and respective operations. The event will inform the development of specific guidance on the role of the protection cluster and AoRs in preparedness efforts and measures in their operations. Date & Time: ...
Cross-sectoral work as a Condition for High Impact MHPSS - GPC Forum 2020
There is a growing body of evidence that MHPSS is vital in the delivery of protection services. Yet, there are still several obstacles for MHPSS to produce the desired high impact. This session intends to address current issues by discovering which MHPSS elements can be integrated in which sector, defining responsibilities in MHPSS service delivery, how MHPSS gaps can be identified and how MHPSS services can be coordinated in different settings. Participants will be guided in making critical reflections about the situation in the country where they work. Date & Time: Tuesday 6 October 2020, 14:00 – 16:00 Geneva Time
