Where possible, we also aim to contribute to the ongoing inter-agency conversation on the Centrality of Protection with learning and documentation of good practice as well as challenges. This consultancy is a collaboration between NRC and InterAction while it is focused on internalizing the Centrality of Protection at NRC, InterAction will provide technical support as well as seeking opportunities to document and disseminate learning. This consultancy will also lay the groundwork for potential future partnerships between the two organizations, and the roadmap will identify potential areas of collaboration.
