Foundational Areas of Work

Across humanitarian action, there are established best practices to ensure programs are context-specific, culturally responsive, effective, and efficient. Much of that is related to the process stakeholders take to determine the most effective and responsive programming, build relationships and work in a coordinated way with others to support families, schools / learning environments, and communities. Those practices and programming evolve as the context and needs of communities change across the life of a response. 

The protection of affected populations and provisions of basic services are the responsibilities of a country’s government. Education and Protection Clusters/coordination mechanisms must consider how their activities strengthen and support the government’s immediate and long-term response abilities.
