Afghanistan HCT Centrality of Protection Strategy - Advocacy Roadmap

In August 2024, the Afghanistan Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) endorsed a Centrality of Protection (CoP) Strategy, with a commitment to lead and coordinate implementation of the strategy over the coming three years. The strategy reflects the contributions of HCT members and allies and crystalizes the particular role HCT members can play in leading, complementing, coordinating and shepherding robust advocacy actions aimed at reducing the identified, prioritized critical protection risks that are experienced by communities in Afghanistan.

This Advocacy Roadmap should be considered as a complement to and further elaboration of the HCT Protection Strategy, further outlining key elements to the collective advocacy efforts and identifying approaches, tactics and actions to be advanced by HCT members and in collaboration with a range of partners and allies. The HCT CoP Strategy Implementation Support Group (ISG) will play a critical role in advancing related advocacy coordination, monitoring and reporting, and ensuring this Roadmap continues to be an iterative and living document throughout the lifespan of the HCT CoP Strategy.
