CCCM - People targeted

Objectives

The CCCM Cluster promotes the protection, safety, and dignity of conflict and disaster affected people through targeted, community-centered multi sectoral interventions that “do no harm” and contribute to social cohesion outcomes.


The CCCM Cluster will focus on the following four objectives to address the humanitarian needs of the targeted population:

  • Ensure care and maintenance of the site’s infrastructure, while mitigating the impacts of environmental degradation.

  • Promote the protection, safety, and dignity of conflict and disaster affected people, through targeted, community-centered multi-sector interventions that “do no harm” and contribute to social cohesion outcomes.

  • Support establishment of inclusive and representative community structures

  • Provide CCCM capacity building support to staff and authorities.

Response

The CCCM Cluster’s mandate is focused on the displaced population who are living in camps, camp-like settings and in host communities. The approach of the Cluster is to apply the CCCM strategic response pillars and where applicable, use an area‐based approach at the level of the Kebele and/or Woreda for the displaced population who are living outside camps. This approach generally applies in both displacement and, where needed, in return locations. CCCM’s strategic response pillars are:

  1. Camp planning and development / improvement
  2. Coordination and Information Management (IM)
  3. Capacity building
  4. Community participation and self-governance


As an approach, CCCM will primarily work in IDP camps to facilitate access to lifesaving services and maintain the communal facilities based on internationally accepted standards required to assist and protect the IDP residents. In the context of ongoing displacements, relocation and returns in the country, CCCM activities will specifically respond in line with its 4 response pillars. However, when it comes to returns, CCCM response will be confined to preparatory activities happening before and during any return movement in collaboration with the relevant actors, including the Government and development actors when and where possible. CCCM continues to support local authorities in its efforts to assist and protect their citizens until a phase‐out timeline is anticipated.


The CCCM Cluster regularly collaborates with other sectors, including the ES/NFI, WASH, Protection, Health, and Education Clusters, as their respective strategies have cross cutting elements. More specifically, the different clusters collaborate to ensure that PSEA, AAP, disability inclusion and protection (including GBV and Child Protection) are mainstreamed into their activities within the intersectoral approach at the camp level.

Cost of response

In 2024, the CCCM Cluster targets 1.09 million people, which will require a budget of US$28.32 million, with activities spread across the 4 response pillars. The major cost drivers include drought, inflation, conflict, displacement, challenges in accessing affected communities, increased vulnerabilities at the family level, additional access barriers for women, the elderly, and persons with disabilities, and affected infrastructures. The CCCM Cluster adopted the combined approach in its costing to reach the total financial requirement. The general costing of all the activities under the four response pillars has been agreed upon in consultation with other sectors to ensure market prices for labor, materials and contracts are consistent.


The prevailing market rates for goods and services were used to calculate the overall costs per activity. Historical rates and inflation rates were taken into consideration in calculating the average unit cost against the projected number of training courses planned. In terms of project implementation, the cost is also heavily affected by the availability of skilled and unskilled labor, communication cost as well as materials and equipment. Local/regional unique costs were taken into consideration as well, particularly in terms of workshops, training, and other related activities.

Monitoring

The CCCM Cluster will collect routine data that measures progress against targets and indicators to track changes and deviations in the program performance of partners. Monitoring tools such as 4W, Site Profiles, Service Mapping, Service Monitoring, Complaints and Feedback Mechanism (CFM) Tools, Site Feasibility Assessment tools and situation reports will ensure that all information is gathered to make informed decisions and to track progress on the indicators. Some of the data will be gathered through DTM’s event tracking, regular site assessment and emergency site assessment tools. The national and subnational IM team provides the technical support to collect, compile, analyze, store, and disseminate the information with scheduled feedback sessions with camp management committees, women, youth/adolescents, persons with disabilities and the elderly. Routine monitoring visits, partner reporting and assessments will also form part of the monitoring activity to inform programming in terms of trends in needs and gaps.
