Afghanistan: Community Protection Measures Fact Sheet - December 2017

Document Type: Situation Reports / Updates
Document Language: English
UNHCR’s ‘Community-based Protection Measures (CPMs)’ focus on mitigating protection risks, both at the individual and community level. CPMs adopt an integrated community-based approach to address the protection and solutions for refugees, returnees, and IDPs, while fostering social cohesion, peaceful coexistence and community resilience. CPMs are area-based and site selection and site-specific activities are informed by protection monitoring; thorough baseline socio-economic profiling; and protection risk and market analyses. This enables the design of evidence-based programming to systematically address the protection risks and immediate to short and medium term needs of UNHCR’s Persons of Concern (PoCs), while fostering linkages with development partners for continuum to long-term development and sustainability. CPM programme is aligned to the Afghanistan National Peace and Development Framework (ANDPF, 2017-2021) and the relevant National Priority Programs.
