Survey for the Global Protection Cluster (PHAP)

In 2015, the Global Protection Cluster (GPC) will update its Strategic Framework and revitalize its structures to react better to the needs of the field. As part of the consultations for this revision, PHAP fielded a survey to its members and wider contact network in September in order to gather inputs from individual practitioners in the area of humanitarian protection.

More than 1300 individuals responded to the survey. Based on a set of questions from the GPC, the survey dealt with how protection is defined and operationalized, challenges for the protection cluster, support needed for protection work, the role of the GPC, and how local and national actors are included in protection work.

The survey analysis is available for download. The comments submitted by respondents have been anonymized and are available as an appendix to the survey.
