Protection Information Management and Key Protection Stakeholders
________________________________________________________________________________________________
The provision of key protection information about affected populations is an essential requirement in order to enable the humanitarian community to base programming plans and responses on available evidence and informed analysis.
Unlike some other areas of information management, such as health, education, or nutrition, the discipline of Protection Information Management (PIM) is not well defined, structured, or coordinated. Subsequently, in order to respond to protection crisis there is a need within the humanitarian community to have a well-articulated and common understanding of PIM, its definition, key components, standards, tools, and methodologies.
The objective of PIM in humanitarian response is to provide quality data and information on individuals and groups of persons affected by natural or man-made disasters in a safe, reliable, and meaningful way. A shared understanding of PIM within the humanitarian community will facilitate the targeted use of protection resources, coordinated protection response, and life-saving protection interventions to a degree otherwise not possible.
Earlier in 2015, a small working group of DRC and UNHCR colleagues came together to develop a PIM framework with a series of supporting components. Discussions and further brainstorming continued on these components at the first PIM Working Meeting, held with global-level PIM stakeholders in Copenhagen in May 2015.
Since then, colleagues from a growing community of PIM stakeholders to conceptualize and develop PIM ‘Next Steps’ meeting. Key documents and concepts were further developed by the PIM reference group during May-December 2015, providing the foundation for ongoing work on PIM.
