As of 2024, at least eight clusters or cluster-like mechanisms are in discussions around potential deactivation or transition. Many country operations are considering whether they can adopt a development-oriented approach and if coordination transitions may be on the horizon. While transitions are important for all clusters, for protection it is often particularly crucial: certain segments of the population may face marginalization or exclusion from state-led support, or even face continued risks to their safety. This session will explore how maintaining an effective response to protection risks and needs and articulate key elements of ensuring the continuity of protection during humanitarian coordination transitions.
