Consortium for Civilian Safety and Security Resources

The consortium of NOHA together with the Humanitarian Policy Group of ODI Global and NORCAP, asked experts on these different protection actions to draft practical guidance on the topics of: 

- Community-Based Safety and Security Analysis and Planning
- Protection by Presence
- Armed Actor Engagement
- Humanitarian Negotiations for Protection
- Humanitarian Mediation 
- Early Warning and Early Response

These practical guidances resources cover the basics of how humanitarians can utilise these modes of action in their work to better protect civilians from protection threats as well as practical steps to integrate these into practice. They also include training materials that accompany the trainings on these topics offered by NOHA as part of the project. 

These resources compliment the research done by our partners at the Humanitarian Policy Group from ODI Global. Through this research, researchers from ODI Global examined how differen protection interventions are put into practice and what evidence exists for their effectiveness in a series of policy briefs. These include: 

- Keeping Protection Paramount Amidst a Humanitarian Reset: The Need for Proactive Protection Action to Reduce Civilian Harm - Gemma Davies, Felicity Gray, and Veronique Barbelet

- Humanitarian Evacuations: practice, guidance, research gaps and lessons - Veronique Barbelet

- Refocusing Protection on Reducing Risks of Violence: Prioritising Civilian Safety in Humanitarian Action - Gemma Davies, Veronique Barbelet, and Leigh Mayhew
