Despite the stated centrality of protection in humanitarian action and a growing attention to protection activities, the evaluation of protection has received relatively little attention. This pilot guide seeks to fill this gap, providing insights and guidance to those evaluating protection in the context of humanitarian action. Guidance is provided regarding:

  • How to initiate an evaluation of protection
  • How to address the practical and ethical issues that arise in evaluating protection
  • Particular issues to consider in analysing and drawing conclusions in evaluations of protection

This guide complements the Evaluation of Humanitarian Action Guide.
