NRC’s Camp Management programme uses Community Outreach methodologies to support displaced Afghans, including those residing in Informal Settlements, spontaneous collective sites, and in urban areas among the host community.
The project aims to improve the protection and assistance response to displacement-affected communities by establishing mechanisms to enhance:
• Communication with Communities: Sharing information with and receiving feedback from displaced and vulnerable host communities
• Community Engagement/Empowerment: Participation of affected communities alongside local stakeholders in the humanitarian and development response
• Support to Coordination: Efficient, effective, and inclusive coordination of services at local level, involving a range of stakeholders (authorities, civil society, NGOs, private sector, etc.).
The programme uses three main mechanisms for enhancing communication, community engagement, and coordination:
• Community Spaces in tents or buildings, established both in urban areas and among informal settlements/collective sites
• Community Committees established and trained in informal settlements/collective sites and urban neighbourhoods
• Outreach Teams who work in Community Spaces and visit displacement-affected communities in their neighbourhoods, settlements, or collective sites
