 KEY MESSAGE

Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) strives to:

• Improve the living conditions during displacement,

• Ensure assistance and protection of IDPs in displacement sites,
• Seek transitional and durable solutions to end temporary
displacement, with an organized closure and phase out, of
displacement sites.
 CAMP CCORDINATION AND
CAMP MANAGEMENT (CCCM)
• Is the name given to standardised coordination mechanisms that refugee
operations apply through the Refugee Coordination Model and IDP
operations apply through the CCCM Cluster. CCCM mechanisms ensure that
services are delivered efficiently and that displaced people are protected in all
types of communal displacement settings in rural or urban environments.

• → sector specific committees, for example regular meetings for protection
agencies in the camp
• → camp committees, representing camp residents in camp governance
• → informal chats and exchanges, planned and/or general relationship building
TYPE OF COORDINATION MEETINGS MOST
OFTEN AT CLUSTER/SECTOR LEAD LEVEL
• → cluster/sector (facilitated by the camp coordinator)
• → teleconferences (involving more stakeholders)
• → task forces (often used to target a specific issue needing
urgent, technical/expert attention which provide feedback and
recommendations)
• → working groups/sub-groups (tasked with researching a
specific issue or producing a specific deliverable).
