Community-based protection - Executive Committee of the High Commissioner's Programme - Standing Committee 57th meeting

In previous years UNHCR has reported on “Community services.” This paper is entitled “Community-based protection” in order to underscore the need to integrate community engagement into all aspects of the Office’s protection work. The paper presents an overview of the progress made in strengthening the delivery of community-based protection and resulting adjustments to UNHCR’s field-based protection workforce to merge the Community Services Officer and Protection Officer into a single function.
