Yemen Protection Cluster Guidance Note - Ensuring Inclusive Access: Harmonizing Civil Documentation Practices in Yemen
This Guidance Note is anchored in the Centrality of Protection Strategy for Yemen, reaffirming the collective duty of all humanitarian actors to prevent, mitigate, and respond to protection risks. Aligning and harmonizing documentation practices across humanitarian interventions is a tangible step toward fulfilling this responsibility—ensuring that no individual is excluded or marginalized due to a lack of civil documentation. The note sets out clear criteria to promote flexible, inclusive, and context-sensitive documentation standards. It offers practical alternatives for individuals without valid or complete identification and aims to prevent denial of life-saving assistance. All sectors and partners are expected to apply this guidance in accordance with their protection commitments and to ensure equitable access for all those in need.
