Protection Cluster Response Framework Integrated Tool

The Protection Cluster Response Framework integrated tool is a core component of the ongoing consolidation of the Protection Cluster. Developed in close collaboration with the Areas of Responsibility (AoRs) and field colleagues, it provides a harmonized framework to link partners’ and AoR-specific activities and interventions with a common set of activities and indicators, ensuring coherence across the protection response.

Specifically designed for the HNRP 2026 process, the framework serves as a practical tool to guide Protection Clusters and partners in designing, planning, and implementing coordinated protection responses. It consolidates activities and programming modalities into one reference point, enabling partners to define activities, formulate objectives, and align interventions under a common protection strategy.

By offering this shared operational guidance, the framework strengthens consistency, comparability, and collective impact across operations, while ensuring that the protection response remains firmly anchored in global standards and field realities. This is the tool developed to support the formulation of the consolidated Protection Cluster framework in the HNRPs.
