PROTECTION CLUSTER
The Protection Cluster Working Group (PCWG) was established in September 2005 as part of the humanitarian reform and is accountable to the Emergency Relief Coordinator. To ensure comprehensive attention to the range of specific protection concerns, the PCWG agreed that the protection response would benefit from being divided into overarching and generally applicable “functional components” or “areas of responsibility” under the cluster lead.
Focal point agencies were designated for recognized areas of protection expertise and tasked with ensuring an effective response in its specialized protection sector in collaboration with other participating agencies.
The goal of the Protection Cluster in Uganda is to ensure the protection of the population in conflict-affected and insecure areas of Uganda. UNHCR is the overall Cluster lead for the Protection Cluster in Uganda, which has 2 sub clusters:
1. Child Protection (CP) sub cluster led by UNICEF
2. Gender Based Violence (GBV) sub cluster led by UNFPA
3. Human Rights and Rule of Law (HRRL) led by OHCR
The Cluster has developed a national strategy with specific objectives for each of the sub clusters in Acholi, Lango, Teso and Karamoja sub regions. At the national level, the CCCM sub cluster and Protection cluster meetings have been merged.
In addition, the District Protection Clusters have been merged into the District Human Rights, Protection and Promotion subcommittees (DHRPP), chaired by the Uganda Human Rights Commission and co-chaired by UNHCR while the secretariat is ensured by OHCHR
