Many humanitarian emergencies result in large-scale displacement, whether short-term or over many years. Although they should be seen as a last resort, camps and other communal settlements are often at the center of humanitarian response, as that is where those with the greatest needs are concentrated. Given this central focus for humanitarian action, what kind of benchmarks and standards can those managing camps and camp-like settings use as a reference point in their work? While standards exist for many of the technical areas that come together in a camp setting, the same has not been the case for the work of Camp Managers, who are responsible for coordinating the delivery of protection and assistance in such settings.
This was the starting point for the development of the Camp Management Standards, which have been developed by the CCCM Cluster over the past years through consultations with camp managers and residents. The final draft form version is now available for a final round of reviews. On 9 September, join us for a webinar to learn more about the challenges faced in camp management and how the draft Camp Management Standards can help to address these. You will hear from experienced Camp Managers who have been involved in the standards development process.
Ahead of the event, we encourage all humanitarian practitioners to provide their views on the final draft of the Camp Management Standards and respond to the online consultation survey.
