Training on Minimum Standards for Displacement Sites

Module 4: Site management: Organisational policies and capacity

The module supports learners to improve the management of collective centres and other displacement sites.

Module description

This module provides an overview of the minimum standards related to site management policies and capacities: mandate, policies and presence (standard 1.1), site lifecycle planning (standard 1.2), and site management agency (SMA) and site management team capacity (standard 1.3). It provides opportunities to discuss the role of the SMA in relation to the displaced population including how the site management team can undertake appropriate and inclusive planning to improve the support they provide. It also considers the key actions they can take to ensure adequate protection and assistance is provided and how to ensure the site management agency team have sufficient capacity to undertake their work effectively.

There are no pre-requisites for this module, but it is recommended that learners are familiar with the purpose and core content of the Minimum Standards before attending the module. Learners who wish to deepen their understanding before participating in this module are encouraged to watch the video 'Supporting displaced populations in the Ukraine humanitarian response: An introduction to the minimum standards for displacement sites' and participate in the module 'Supporting displaced populations in the Ukraine humanitarian response: Using the Minimum Standards in practice'.

This module is a facilitated module which uses participatory methods. It is expected that learners will participate in discussions and activities in order to deepen their understanding of the concepts that are discussed. Participants will be offered opportunities to share relevant personal experiences and reflections to benefit their own and others' learning.  At the end of the module, participants will be provided with a summary of key messages from the module and a list of relevant resources.
