Sector goals and priorities contd..


Objective 1 The framework of a CCCM Program

Camp administration

is the role of governments and national authorities

pertains to the functions and activities related to overseeing and supervision of activities in camps and camp-like settings

responsible for securing land and occupancy rights

issuance of documentation and permits

facilitate access to camp by humanitarian agencies


Objective 1 The framework of a CCCM program

Camp Coordination

The primary objective of the Camp Coordination function is to create the humanitarian space necessary for the effective delivery of protection and assistance

Coordination of the roles and responsibilities relating to develop and support national/regional plans relating to camps

Camp Coordination also includes the responsibility to set-up and maintain assessments, monitoring and information management systems



Camp management

Camp management encompasses those activities in one single camp such as:• Coordination of services• Governance and community

participation/mobilization mechanisms• Maintenance of infra-structure• Data collection and sharing• Provision of defined services• Monitoring the service delivery• Planning for exit strategy is identified• Monitoring and referral of protection cases

in the camp• Advocating for durable solutions• Advocate for standards in the camp



Camp phase-out and closure

can be a planned or abrupt process

should be linked to durable solutions, planned from the beginning of a camp operation, involve the affected community

the Camp Management Agency and other stakeholders should:

• assess the voluntariness of return or resettlement

• disseminate information on camp phase out activities

• ensure participation and coordination in the process among all stakeholders

• ensure that the site is left fit for the purpose it was used for prior to camp set-up


CAMP LIFE CYCLE

SET UP CARE & MAINTENANCE

CLOSURE & PHASE OUT


Camp planning and site selection

When camps are planned, a variety of factors play in the site selection:

SAFETY, security and protection it offers.

Cultural and social considerations, concerns about access, geology and topography, trees and vegetation, the potential impact on the environment and potential risks due to environmental causes of disease or other public health issues must be taken into account.

But first consideration should concern the SAFETY FROM HAZARDS


Camp cycle - Camp set up

• Access to water and sanitary requirements

• Source NFI• Source shelter

materials• Safer location and

access of essentials to prevent GBV / abuses for IDPs

Objective 3 Key stakeholder roles, responsibilities and accountability in an IDP context

Key stakeholders involved in the CCCM cluster


CCCM Needs Assessment: a package including contextualized data collection forms and database to identify the needs of the displaced population located in collective settlements

Population data statistics: their purpose is to track changes in number, composition and needs of displaced population in all communal settlements. Provides trend analysis of the overall situation for strategic planning and prioritization of assistance

Objective 3 Key stakeholder roles, responsibilities and accountability

Tools for an effective CCCM response



Ensuring accountability

Ensuring accountability in camps is a main element of CCCM. It means placing the crisis-affected people at the heart of all decisions and actions.

Participation and protection of the community are key elements to ensuring accountability

The Humanitarian worker should be aware of the codes of conduct

The Humanitarian Accountability Partnership Standard as a must-read for any humanitarian worker



Community PROTECTION and PARTICIPATION are two CCCM responsibilities which help ensuring accountability to the affected people.


The Core Standards are essential process standards shared by all sectors. They provide a single reference point for approaches that underpin all sector specific standards in the Sphere Handbook.

There are six Core Standards:
