Protection of Civilians Section





The protection of civilians in armed conflict is a key aspect of PDSB’s work in supporting the humanitarian policy agenda
and fostering strategic and operational coherence with the Secretariat, the IASC and Member States. In working with OCHA’s Coordination and Response Division and the Displacement and Protection Support Section, the Protection of Civilians Section (POCS) carries out political advocacy, and helps provide advice to the field and develop best practices. It also supports the Emergency Relief Coordinator in reporting to the Security Council and Member States on key protection concerns. POCS carries out analysis of protection concerns and trends in OCHA’s priority countries, and assists in the development of country-specific strategies to respond to prevailing challenges, including through workshops with the key parties to conflict and improved protection measures for civilians.

Policy Development and Studies Branch

OCHA’s Policy Development and Studies Branch (PDSB) supports effective emergency response coordination and advocacy efforts by providing leadership on humanitarian policies, evaluations and best practices, and ensuring the integration of humanitarian principles, protection concerns, lessons learned and agreed policies into operational planning and relevant mandates. In doing so, PDSB supports the Under-Secretary-General/Emergency Relief Coordinator in his role as both the principal adviser to the Secretary- General on humanitarian issues and as the principal coordinator of global relief operations.

Working in close collaboration with other OCHA branches, Secretariat partners and the operational agencies of the
United Nations, as well as with the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, NGOs, think tanks and the academic
community, PDSB identifies emerging humanitarian trends and addresses them by supporting the development of
common policy positions among humanitarian agencies.PDSB also works with OCHA’s regional and field offices in
providing policy advice and identifying emerging policy issues at field and regional levels, converting them into
normative guidance and analytical tools for use by field practitioners in emergency response. (table)

    1. Disaster and Vulnerability Policy Section
    2. Evaluation and Studies Section
    3. Intergovernmental Support Section
    4. Policy Planning and Analysis Section
    5. Protection of Civilians Section
