Temporary solutions to
displacement
Temporary settlement options

“Site” definition (CM minimum standards)
•The term “site” applies to a variety of camps and
camp-like settings including planned camps, self-
settled camps, collective centres, reception and
transit centres, and evacuation centres. (...)
•Sites are locations where services, infrastructures
and resources are shared and managed collectively.
To achieve this, effective site-level coordination
between all stakeholders is a central task of every
CCCM actor.

Key message

The types of settlements where IDPs and refugees can temporarily

seek assistance and protection take a variety of forms.

Camps are a last resort and should only be established when other
solutions are not feasible.
They do not provide a permanent sustainable solution, but offer
temporary solutions for the provision of protection and assistance, in
order to meet the basic human rights of displaced populations.

The way a displacement site is set up and managed affects the

capacity of the residents to recover from disaster.
6
What is Camp Management?
Camp Management is…
…the coordination and monitoring of service
provision, protection and assistance in temporary
settlements in accordance with the legal protection
framework and minimum humanitarian standards
through community governance and participatory
mechanisms.

8
Camp Management aims to…
• Provide assistance and
protection to displaced
populations living in sites.
• Communicate and
coordinate with range of
actors.
• Ensure the rights of the site
population.
• Provide a holistic approach
and a cross-cutting sector
response.

9
 Key message

Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) strives to:

• Improve the living conditions during displacement,

• Ensure assistance and protection of IDPs in displacement sites,

• Seek transitional and durable solutions to end temporary

displacement, with an organized closure and phase out, of
displacement sites.

The CCCM Framework
 Camp Administration, Camp Coordination
and Camp Management

12
 General Responsibilities
Camp Administration (CA) functions are carried out by
the government/national authorities to relate to the
overseeing of activities in sites.

Camp Coordination (CC) functions are carried out by the

CCCM cluster in an IDP Response. It entails the
coordination of roles and responsibilities in the overall
humanitarian camp response.

Camp Management (CM) functions are usually carried

out by a UN Agency or a NGO who support the local
authorities. It is the coordination of services and the
maintenance of infrastructure in a single site.
13
 Camp Administration
Provide oversight and the supervision of the activities in sites.
This includes:
● Identify site, open and close a site
● Secure occupancy rights and resolve disputes arising from
appropriation of land or buildings
● Provide security, maintain law and order
● Maintain and facilitate access to sites
● Issue legal documentation, permits and licenses (e.g. birth
and death certificates, ID cards, travel permits) to site
residents
● Organize a registration system

14
 Camp Coordination
Support and Coordinate the Camp Response by providing a
platform that ensures that delivery is driven by strategic
priorities and avoiding duplication of service delivery. It entails:
● Enhance technical CCCM capacity of local actors and stakeholders
to implement CCCM activities, including area-based approaches
● Develop IM tools and a joint information management system to
facilitate partners’ reporting and coordination with partners,
clusters, and other stakeholders for an informed decision-making
● Produce and update advocacy messages
● Strengthen operational CCCM coordination at national, regional
and local levels, including area- based approaches
● Participate in Inter-Cluster coordination mechanisms;
● Form technical working groups and ad hoc thematic task forces
15
as needed
 Camp Management
Ensure the provision of assistance and protection for the
displaced in one single site. It entails:
● Set up coordination system and fora at the site level, monitor the
assistance and protection and bring gaps to the attention of responsible
agencies
● Set up, coordinate and maintain communication with communities
channels, including disseminating information and providing multisector
feedback mechanisms
● Collect information on the needs of the population and monitor whether
all site inhabitants have safe and non-discriminatory access to available
facilities and services
● Set up site governance and community participation mechanisms
● Monitor and maintain site infrastructure
● Strategically plan activities to integrate a protection perspective into all
programs and activities in the site

Coordination within the CCCM Framework

17
 Key message

Clearly defined roles and responsibilities of CA, CC, CM are crucial

to the quality of life, the degree of dignity, and future sustainable
solutions for the displaced population.

A camp management agency's role is to support national

authorities (as they are responsible for protecting the rights of the
internally displaced persons (IDPs) on their territory) and work with
the Cluster and designated protection agencies in site.

18
Camp Management
Approaches
 Camp Management Approaches
Different organisational approaches to site management are
needed to tailor the response to the displacement and
operational context.

We use the generic term 'camp management agency' to refer to

the range of different site team structures such as:
● Classic or static Camp Management
● Site Management Support
● Mobile Site Management

20
 Area Based and Out of Camps
Outside camp or area based approaches apply to designated geographical
areas and can take place in urban, peri-urban or rural settings.

Activities are delivered by a mobile team with adaptable skills and

profiles.

The implementation focuses on setting up a centre to deliver site

management services to people living in the entire community, both host
and displaced.

They are most frequently used in dispersed displacement settings, where

accommodation can include rented premises and communal settlements
in urban contexts.
21
 Prioritized Site Management Activities in
Ukraine
● Support the authorities in the coordination of services at site / area level
● Set up CCCM systems in sites (SOPs, coordination mechanisms, roles and
responsibilities of service providers etc.) and at area level if needed for
operational / coordination purposes
● Establish referral mechanisms for sites
● Monitor site population and services through site monitoring tools
● Two-way communication with people living in sites: establish access to
information for displaced populations and feedback & complaint systems
● Improve living conditions of displaced people through care and maintenance,
including cash for work and community projects
● Capacity building on CM, humanitarian standards for authorities and
relevant stakeholders

 The CCCM Cluster in Ukraine
● Recently activated (March 04) and lead by UNHCR
● Structured with a national coordination team and subnational
platforms and possibly area-based coordination in locations with high
concentration of communal settings hosting IDPs
● A Strategic Advisory Group (SAG) will be formed at national level to
provide strategic guidance, recommendations and take key strategic
decision making
● Cluster members may decide on the need to establish task forces and
working groups to address certain issues (contingency planning,
strategy elaboration, adapting of guidance to the national context, ...)
● Cluster strategic framework just issued:
