Humanitarian Programme Cycle

The Protection Risk Assessment (PRA) is a regular exercise coordinated by Protection Clusters to identify and analyze the severity of key protection risks affecting populations. The assessment measures the severity of 15 protection risks on a scale from 1 (minimal) to 5 (extreme), providing a common evidence base to support protection analysis, prioritization, response planning, advocacy, and strategic decision-making.

This webinar provides a refresher on the Protection Cluster's approach to needs and response analysis for the 2027 HPC. It reviews key methodologies for severity and PiN estimation, response analysis, and strategic planning, while highlighting updates to tools and guidance. The session also covers response monitoring principles and reporting requirements to support consistent tracking of progress and results throughout the HPC cycle.

This webinar provided a practical walkthrough of the Protection Cluster tools used to support the HNRP process. The session covered the full methodology for calculating severity, PiN, targets, and response planning figures using the household-level, area-level, and data-poor scenario tools. Participants were guided through key steps, data requirements, and recommended approaches to ensure consistent and coherent analysis across specialized areas.
