We seek to place an emphasis on proactive protection work – deliberate and structured approaches that contribute to preventing violence from occuring or recurring; and with particular attention to contexts with conflict or other forms of generalised violence. Our work builds on several years of experience trialling these approaches to protection from violence, and draws on our institutional expertise in principled action in hard-to-reach locations.
By the end of 2025, NRC will have evidence-based, effective programming in civilian self-protection, humanitarian mediation, general protection case management and site management. We will continue to be a recognised thought leader on protection, basing our influence on operational expertise and continuous learning. We will have the organisational culture, structures and processes in place to sustain both coverage and quality and contribute to broader protection outcomes.
