Welcome to the Community-Based Protection Community of Practice
The community-based protection online community of practice facilitates peer learning and the exchange of experience between humanitarian practitioners around the world.
The community is a repository of key documents, tools and practices on Community-Based Protection. It also includes resources on Accountability to Affected People (AAP) and Diversity & Inclusion as well as Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA).
The community is an interactive space where you are invited to explore and exchange tools and practices ranging from guidelines and training materials to case studies and examples of field practices. We strongly encourage the submission of tools and practices and practices in different languages.
You are encouraged to share your experience and learn from others on implementing community-based protection on the Practitioner's Blog and to keep up to date with the latest events, trainings and conferences in the What's Happening section or through the Quarterly Updates issued by the UNHCR CBP unit in HQs.
You can also make suggestions on topics to be covered by posting directly to the Suggestion Board or by sending us an email.
The community of practice is public, and its resources and functionalities are available to anyone interested in community-based protection.
Go find what you seek and share your knowledge with others.
