HOW TO GUIDE: Protection Risk Analysis, August 2015 HOW TO GUIDE: Protection Risk Analysis

Introduction The Protection Risk ‘bubbles’ analysis exercise is a simple way of highlighting key protection issues that are present in a given emergency context and that need to be taken into consideration throughout the project cycle. It is crucial to consider how these risks affect, and are affected by, our programming as there are simple steps that can be put in place to mitigate or prevent them. This enables responses to better promote the meaningful access, safety and dignity of beneficiaries receiving humanitarian aid.1 The bubbles analysis is intended as:  A very brief overview of protection issues that exist in the context;  A way to ensure issues are not forgotten even in the initial stages of an emergency response;  A tool for teams that are less protection focused (such as shelter, WASH or distribution teams);  A tool that teams regularly update as the situation evolves;  The first step to developing a protection mainstreaming action plan.

Specific uses for the bubbles The bubbles may be used in several ways, at different stages of the emergency: 1. IMMEDIATE: initially, the bubbles may be used as a hand-out to brief field staff on the key protection issues and raise awareness of the environment they are working in (Annex 2). 2. MEDIUM TERM: when sector teams have more time, they can use them in conjunction with the Protection Mainstreaming Framework and sector specific checklists to compile an action plan outlining concrete actions they can take in their programme response (Annex 6). 3. LONGER TERM: it is recommended that as soon as teams have time, they build up a more comprehensive analysis of the context by looking at how the protection risks in the bubbles link with the other parts of the risk equation in Annex 3. This may mean only looking at one specific risk that is widespread. The analysis should include: who/what is causing the protection risk (i.e. who is the threat), who is vulnerable to the risk, and the capacities people have to protect themselves against the risk.

Step 1: Researching protection issues for the bubbles Information on protection risks present in the context can be compiled using any secondary or primary information available. Possible sources include:2

 The Humanitarian Response Platform  Human Rights Watch  Multi Sector Initial Rapid Assessments (MIRA)  Protection advisors  OCHA Sit Reps  Field level cluster meetings  Global Protection Cluster (GPC)  Local communities3

1 According to the Global Protection Cluster, protection mainstreaming can be defined as: “The process of incorporating protection principles and promoting meaningful access, safety and dignity in humanitarian aid”. For more information on protection mainstreaming see: Protection Mainstreaming Briefing Note, October 2014, Caritas Australia, CAFOD, CRS, and Trocaire. 2 http://www.humanitarianresponse.info/home; http://www.hrw.org/; http://www.unhcr.org/pages/49c3646c4b2.html; http://www.globalprotectioncluster.org/; http://www.internal-displacement.org/ 3 Information from communities about what they perceive to be key risks is important. However, non-protection staff planning assistance projects (such as WASH, shelter, NFIs etc.) should be cautious about asking sensitive questions unless trained to do so. 1 HOW TO GUIDE: Protection Risk Analysis, August 2015  Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC)  Local partners present in the context  Reliefweb  Local government sources

For the purpose of this exercise the focus is on protection risks, i.e. acts that threaten the safety and dignity of civilians. These encompass acts of violence, coercion and exploitation, discrimination or deliberate deprivation.4 Examples of protection issues can be found in Annex 1; it is not a definitive list but does provide an overview of key issues teams might encounter in emergency contexts (natural and man-made).

It is important to note that each context will be very different and a risk in one context might present itself very differently in another. For example, in some countries traffickers might target vulnerable women for sexual exploitation but in other countries trafficking might involve the forcible recruitment of young men to work on construction sites.

Step 2: Prioritising the protection issues for the bubbles  Each bubble focuses on a core protection area, such as “Gender Based Violence”, “Child Protection” or “Housing, Land and Property.” Within these there may be several protection risks identified. For example, under “Child Protection” the specific issues of child labour, recruitment of children to armed groups and lack of access to education might be included.  Although many protection issues might emerge during the research, it is important to focus on the key issues that are most relevant to the response i.e. those that have newly emerged or those that have been, or are likely to be, exacerbated by, the emergency. For example, households affected by an emergency, who have limited resources to fall back on, might resort to negative coping mechanisms such as the early marriage of daughters, pulling children out of education to work, or recruitment by traffickers.  The analysis does not need to be exhaustive or perfect as it is intended more as a starting point. This may mean compiling only 5-10 bubbles. As the response evolves additional information on the threats, vulnerabilities and capacities can be added to the analysis.  It may be useful to produce just one master version of the bubbles for the whole programme.  An example of the bubble analysis compiled for the Typhoon Haiyan response in the Philippines in January 2014 can be found in Annex 2.

Step 3: Developing an action plan  In order to develop an action plan: o The team should look at the bubbles analysis they have put together for the context (Annex 2). o They should go through each point and discuss how the planned/ ongoing program does, or does not, take each issue into account. o Using the Protection Mainstreaming triangle (see Annex 4) and sector specific checklists (for example Annex 5), the team should decide: . How can the program mitigate this problem? . If the issue can’t be addressed directly, how can the team coordinate with other service providers? o Changes to the design of the programme can be made accordingly.

The aim of the analysis is to be aware of what is going on and adapt assistance accordingly. Where protection risks are identified by the community, but no services exist, or where agencies do not have the skills, systems and protocols in place, we risk doing harm. 4 The widely accepted definition of stand-alone protection, endorsed by the IASC is: “(…) all activities aimed at ensuring full respect for the rights of the individual in accordance with the letter and the spirit of the relevant bodies of law, i.e. human rights law, international humanitarian law, and refugee law.” However, in emergencies the 4 areas mentioned should be prioritised.

5 According to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, a “child” is defined as anyone under the age of 18 6 Not all work done by children is harmful to their development or education. Child labour instead refers to work that is harmful (mentally or physically) and that interferes with their access to education. 7 Refoulement is when refugees are forcibly returned to a country where they have reason to fear persecution. This an illegal practice under international law. 4 HOW TO GUIDE: Protection Risk Analysis, August 2015 Psychosocial  Distress caused by witnessing or experience acts of violence distress  Distress caused by loss of loved ones  Distress caused by displacement from, or loss of, home  Distress caused by loss of livelihoods  Feeling of fear living in insecure environments  Loss of routine, social networks and sense of stability  Anxiety from lack of information on available assistance Annex 2: Bubbles analysis – Philippines

ANALYSIS  Ensure that protection or community services staff work alongside shelter specialists and site planners in all multi-sectorial assessments and specialized shelter assessments to ensure that the protection implications of shelter interventions are taken into account at the onset.  Ensure that the proposed locations for shelter are considered in terms of the risk of physical attacks, risks to safety such as mined areas, or environmentally unsuitable areas such as steep hills, subsiding land areas and areas prone to flooding, volcanic activities and other potential natural disasters;  It is essential to understand land tenure arrangements, including statutory/legislative and customary access rights to land, water and other natural resources as well as inheritance rights. This precaution will reduce the risk of eviction or conflict erupting due lack of clarity of these issues. When unsure consult Protection Cluster (Housing, Land and Property Group where possible);  Assess whether access to shelter is causing tension or conflict;  Take into account local material, existing capacities and the environment. Whenever possible, locally acceptable and available materials and labour should be used to benefit the local economy, while not depleting local resources

TARGETING PRIORITY GROUPS Safety & Dignity  Ensure that shelter has been designed and built with adequate escape routes in the case of emergency evacuation, and information and training are provided on fire safety and evacuation procedures;  Provide efficient lighting throughout the site, particularly communal areas such as sanitation facilities;  Respect minimum space standard in shelters to minimize risks of exploitation and abuse;  Plan separate bathrooms and toilets for men and women, avoid dark and isolated areas;  Include partitions and door locks (when culturally relevant) to better protect women and girls, particularly single women and female-headed households;  Provide shelter materials and distance between dwellings that offer greater privacy and dignity, especially in cultures where men’s and women’s are markedly separate;  If required for safety, ensure that there are separate living areas available to groups such as single women, people with disabilities and unaccompanied children, and these areas are protected from targeting of abuse or violence;  Avoid any shelter or settlement activities that involve forced relocation or return;  Ensure adequate safe recreational spaces for children to play and for community groups to meet where family members can watch them from shelter to avoid children playing in remote areas;

Meaningful access  Ensure that essential services (e.g. health facilities, food distribution and water points, schools, etc.) and materials can be easily and safely accessed from the shelter and settlement locations;  Treat displaced persons equitably, whether they are living in: host-family arrangements, collective centres, urban or rural locations, in camps, or planned camps;  Ensure that agencies consider the needs of different ethnic, racial, national or social groups in shelter allocation, ensuring that the quality of shelter is equitable across all groups;  Prioritize people and groups on the basis of need – do not prioritize certain groups because their solutions are easier to achieve;  Ensure that shelters are accessible and appropriate to all groups and individuals, note in particular concerns of persons with physical or mental disabilities and older persons– where necessary, make individual changes to household shelters, or build all shelters to be universally accessible;  People with disabilities and older persons may not be able to come to distribution/facility sites (e.g. food, water). Plan additional measures to reach persons with disabilities and older persons; 10 HOW TO GUIDE: Protection Risk Analysis, August 2015  Ensure bathrooms are accessible to persons with disabilities and older persons, and safe for children;  Ensure particularly vulnerable groups such as female headed households, older persons and persons with disability have equal access to distributions and ability to transport them;  Treat owners, tenants, the landless, informal dwellers and secondary occupants equitably even if return, resettlement and reintegration options are different for different groups;  Recognise the joint ownership rights of both male and female heads of household and prevent discrimination;  Support and assist displaced persons until such time as they are no longer disadvantaged as a result of their displacement;  All efforts should be undertaken to secure safe housing for unaccompanied children and establish monitoring procedures by specialized agencies and the community itself;  Ensure that unaccompanied older persons are assisted in constructing their own shelters;  Develop appropriate response to help vulnerable groups to access aid, transport shelter material and construct shelters. Pay particular attention to assistance needed by persons with disabilities and older persons to ensure construction of accessible shelters;

COORDINATION AND ADVOCACY  Identify local authorities responsible for shelter provision and support their role where possible;  Ensure that local authorities are involved in site planning and selection so as to avoid problems and ensuring consent and participation from local leaders. Provide technical and construction assistance;  Work with the community to set up monitoring or similar mechanisms to assess the living conditions of persons with specific needs in the community, such as older persons living without adult family members or child-headed households  Monitor safety of affected populations on an ongoing basis and advocate with local authorities or other duty bearers for improved safety and/or services.

MAPPING AND REFERRAL  Compile and share information between staff on existing service providers in the community (police, health care – medical and psychosocial – family tracing, safe houses etc) and how to contact them if staff come across people who have been exposed to harm;  Provide information about people’s entitlements and where and how they can access remedies, resolve disputes or apply for compensation – by referring to relevant authorities, legal services, or another agencies specialising in housing, land and property rights;  Provide information about actors who are supporting people to secure or replace documentation such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, passports, land titles or other property documentation.

INFORMATION SHARING  Ensure consultation with host communities, government authorities, as well as beneficiaries, men, women, boys and girls. Involve persons with disabilities and older persons in your needs assessments in order to have accurate information about their specific needs;  Share information with the community, in a variety of formats (such as leaflets, radio broadcasts, posters, meetings, house to house visits etc) about the organisation, the planned project, and the selection for criteria;  Disseminate information about the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and implement programmes that support displaced people’s rights;  Provide information to beneficiaries in different forms (visual, oral, aural etc) about expected behaviours of staff, contractors and volunteers and about the ways they can report a problem.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT  Observe and ask about local construction practices and use appropriate method when possible;  Involve women and men in the planning and in the implementation of distributions; 11 HOW TO GUIDE: Protection Risk Analysis, August 2015  Provide support to diverse groups that are not traditionally involved in construction activities but may be interested in participating in shelter programmes;  Ask disaster-affected populations, including diverse groups, to help identify safe locations for shelters and settlements as well as shelter design;  Train and practice emergency evacuations with affected populations;  Ensure that disaster-affected populations are fully involved in the planning and management of their return, resettlement and reintegration;  Support IDPs to upgrade their own shelters from transitional to more permanent structures, as their situation evolves;  Reinforce the community’s self-help capacity: encourage traditional construction methods, particularly in areas where transportation of shelter material is restricted for logistical or security reasons; give women the opportunity to equally participate in the process; equip beneficiaries with knowledge of safe construction practices;  Cash-for-work and food-for-work schemes as well as childcare arrangements can be useful to support households with specific needs in building their own shelters. Monitor the implementation of such schemes to avoid exploitative and fraudulent practices;  Work with the community to identify skilled women and men and adolescent girls and boys who can support shelter construction, from both the IDP and the other affected communities;  Obtain permission (temporary or permanent) before using or building on any land or property, in writing where possible;  Consider assistance to host families and host communities, such as support in expanding or adapting the host family shelter;

FEEDBACK MECHANISMS  Conduct regular structured dialogues and discussions with individuals and groups of different ages, gender and backgrounds, particularly those with specific needs on shelter issues, to ensure that any protection concerns highlighted are discussed and resolved;  Set up mechanism for complaints and appeals, and ensuring that men, women, boys and girls are both comfortable to access these complaints mechanism;

STAFF CONDUCT  Avoid and monitor any exploitative labour especially child labour or sexual exploitation on construction sites;  Ensure that all staff, contractors, volunteers etc are trained on the Code of Conduct and understand what behaviours are expected and/or forbidden;  Provide both women and men with the same benfits for their input and their work in construction: e.g. if work is paid, ensure that both women’s and men’s work is paid and is equal;

Annex 6: Shelter and protection mainstreaming action plan10

Losing a home can be a devastating experience, particularly in the context of an emergency. The provision of appropriate and safe shelter solutions is one way to promote the safety and dignity of beneficiaries as shelter not only helps reduce physical exposure to violence but can also provide an important sense comfort and security psychologically. As a potentially large asset, the way shelters are designed and allocated is crucial so ensuring meaningful access and establishing accountability processes (covering information sharing, beneficiary participation, feedback processes, and staff behaviour) should be a priority. This document is a working document to be used by field staff to actively explore how the shelter program can be adapted to promote the safety, dignity and access of beneficiaries.
