PGI in the ECHO & IFRC programmatic partnership (PPP) - Achievements and Lessons Learned (Case Study)
|
Document
The PPP, funded by DG ECHO and implemented with IFRC, has provided a unique institutional framework for strengthening PGI and safeguarding in National Societies worldwide. ECHO’s support enabled not only the mainstreaming of PGI principles—ensuring dignity, access, participation, and safety are embedded in all programmes and services—but also the delivery of specialised protection activities where capacity and context allowed. This dual approach was anchored in the IFRC PGI Policy and reinforced by the addition of a global results indicator, driving accountability and continuous improvement.
The examples in this report demonstrate how National Societies have:
Systematically mainstreamed PGI and safeguarding across five technical pillars (Disaster Risk Management, Epidemic and Pandemic Preparedness, People on the Move, Cash and Voucher Assistance, and Risk Communication & Community Engagement).
Used practical tools like the PGI Scorecard, targeted training, and peer learning to adapt approaches to local realities.
Delivered specialised interventions—such as support for survivors of sexual and gender-based violence, child protection case management, and disability inclusion—always guided by the “do no harm” principle.
These achievements were made possible by ECHO’s flexible funding and the technical support of IFRC’s global and regional teams, which fostered innovation, peer exchange, and capacity building. The lessons learned and systems built through this partnership are helping to sustain and expand PGI integration, ensuring that protection, gender equality, and inclusion remain at the heart of humanitarian response.
