Welcome to INTRODUCTION TO PROTECTION ANALYSIS

This series of videos will introduce important concepts, tools, and steps in the process of an in-depth, integrated, and collaborative protection analysis. The sequence of the videos supports a shared understanding of what an analysis of protection risks means, what information is needed to identify and understand protection risks in their context, and how to analyze and prioritize risk. Later modules highlight what to consider when identifying the collective problem-solving approach based on your analysis findings, as well as how to set up an information management system to support continuous analysis and its use for problem-solving and strategic design.

These videos are a part of a more expansive and interactive Protection Analysis Training Package which supports protection teams to build and apply core skills, and connect protection analysis to their day-to-day work. Each video is linked to (and explores concepts or processes in focus within) the relevant module of Protection Analysis Training Package. This training package is aligned with the Protection Analytical Framework (PAF), endorsed by the Global Protection Cluster in April 2021.
