This Guide accompanies the Legal aid analysis framework, which resulted from a project led by the Global Protection Cluster’s Task Team on Law and Policy (GPC TTLP) on legal aid in humanitarian settings aimed at:
- improving the capacities of the Protection clusters, including the Areas of Responsibility and participating agencies, development, humanitarian, peace and human rights actors, to understand and assess the legal aid needs in their countries of operation, address existing gaps and promote legal aid interventions so people affected by humanitarian crises have access to justice and can enjoy their rights;
- enhancing the GPC TTLP’s ability to demonstrate the need to integrate legal aid in humanitarian response from the outset;
- developing knowledge products and tools for the protection clusters at field level to address legal aid needs collectively.
