New Oxfam Publication
Improving the Safety of Civilians
A Protection Training Pack
Sophia Swithern and Rachel Hastie, Oxfam GB
This training pack is intended to help humanitarian workers to improve
the safety of civilians being subjected to violence, coercion, or
deliberate deprivation.
The activity sessions within the modules cover topics as diverse as
international standards for civilian protection, objective setting,
indicators and monitoring, humanitarian negotiation, co-ordination and
alliance building, reducing the risk of sexual violence and advocacy for
humanitarian protection. A selection of core exercises at the end of the
book is designed to encourage interaction and create debate.
Improving the Safety of Civilians outlines all activities, with detailed
trainers’ notes, timings, resources needed, and handouts, feedback, and
evaluation sheets. Colour cards and posters are included at the back of
the book. An accompanying CD contains the full text of the manual
including the cards and posters for users to print.
The materials are designed for use by experienced facilitators, who have
some knowledge of protection issues, to train emergency-response teams.
Activities can be adapted for participants with different levels of
knowledge.
The pack introduces the ideas discussed in Protection: An ALNAP Guide
for Humanitarian Agencies, also published by Oxfam, using modules and
exercises that can be adapted to all levels of participant knowledge.
