Module description
The module provides an overview of minimum standard 2.4: inclusive and representative governance structures are accountable to and have the capacity to meet the needs of the site population. The module explores underlying concepts that inform the standard, the actions that need to be taken in order to apply the standard and how the actions and indicators can be adapted to the Ukraine humanitarian response.
There are no pre-requisites for this module. However, before attending this module learners are encouraged to participate in the module 'Participation and representation of displaced communities (Participation, information sharing and feedback and complaints mechanisms)' on which this module builds. In addition, if learners are not familiar with the Minimum Standards, they 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' before attending this module.
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.
Module objectives
- Describe what governance structures are in the context of collective centres and other displacement sites,
- Explain what the concepts of inclusion and vulnerability mean in humanitarian responses,
- Identify which factors may create vulnerabilities in the Ukraine humanitarian response and which groups may be at risk of being marginalised or under-represented in decision-making structures,
- Consider what governance structures, community leadership and power dynamics currently exist amongst displaced populations and analyse how these might impact inclusion and representation,
- Describe ways to ensure governance structures are accountable to and have the capacity to meet the needs of the site population (standard 2.4),
Identify key actions you will undertake to support the creation or strengthening of inclusive and representative governance structures.
