The humanitarian community, in cooperation with the zonal and woreda governments, has been responding to this displacement by providing a range of services in the locations of displacement.  In early September, internally displaced persons (IDPs) started returning to their woredas of origin, including to the West Guji zone. Under the leadership of the Protection Cluster (lead by UNHCR), several UN agencies (notably UNHCR, UNICEF, UNFPA and OHCHR) will conduct protection monitoring in the areas of return in West Guji. The protection monitoring will be linked with protection services to be provided on the ground. Protection monitoring in the context of internal displacement involves collecting, verifying and analyzing information in order to identify violations of rights and protection threats and risks encountered by IDPs and returnees for the purpose of informing effective responses. Protection monitoring is the process of a team of representatives from UN agencies conducting site visits to speak with IDPs and returnees to assess current situation and identify any needs, including referral of protection issues and allegations of human rights violations. Protection monitoring seeks to identify and measure events, trends and changes in the protection situation over a period of time, while a protection assessment is intended to produce a general picture of the protection situation at a particular date. Protection monitoring includes considerations of gender and age and any other individual or collective characteristic vis-à-vis risks of and violations of rights and protection threats and risks encountered. Protection monitoring teams will receive information from a range of community members of different ages and genders, in line with the principle of Do No Harm, and will potentially contribute to ensuring access to basic services, the prevention, mitigation and response to gender-based-violence. Justification: Some IDPs experienced a range of protection issues during the displacement and in places of displacement that were identified during protection assessments. The objective of protection monitoring is to assist and guide evidence-based action by relevant national, regional and international actors in order to ensure the full respect and protection of the rights of IDPs and returnees. These actions will include specific interventions on behalf of individuals and or groups, the planning and implementation of humanitarian assistance operations or protection interventions and advocacy or other activities by relevant stakeholders such as international actors and civil society. The current response in West Guji is being supported by individual agencies but additional staffing is required to provide dedicated support to protection monitoring.

Composition and approach: The protection monitoring teams will be composed of consultants from UN agencies and their work will be guided and overseen by protection specialists from UN agencies.

The coordination of the protection monitoring schedule and activities of the protection monitoring team(s) will be conducted by the Protection Cluster led by UNHCR. The activities will be planned and adjusted to respond to the ongoing return developments in the field. The protection monitoring teams will report to the Protection Cluster Coordinator on field based operational and logistics arrangements, as well as the submission of Weekly Report. Individual team members from the respective agencies will report to an assigned supervisor from their agency. Responsibility: Protection monitoring will focus on priority kebeles, the list of which will be regularly updated by the protection monitoring teams on the basis of information gathered through the local coordination platforms that include local government structures; The protection monitoring teams will visit one or two sites or collective centres a day, depending on size of site/centres, distance between locations, and the security situation from Monday to Thursday and complete assessments using the protection monitoring tools developed by the Protection Cluster; On Fridays, the protection monitoring teams will conduct analysis on the basis of the information gathered, and in collaboration with the UN protection monitoring specialists, draft a report with key actions identified for each partner (as relevant) for follow up.
