The Global CCCM Cluster Strategy (2025-2029) emphasizes empowering displaced communities, prioritizing alternatives to planned camps, and fostering sustainable, localized solutions to displacement. It outlines strategic priorities, including comprehensive responses to crises, enhancing community agency, and promoting localized leadership and decision-making. Key approaches include inclusive participation, technological innovation, and adapting to climate change. The strategy highlights the importance of capacity strengthening, collaborative partnerships, and informed responses through data management. It advocates for safe, dignified environments and durable solutions while ensuring accountability, protection, and community engagement across all collectively inhabited displacement settings.
This strategy was developed through a consultation process, guided by the Global Cluster Strategic Advisory Group.
Key Recommendations of High-Level Panel on IDPs & Independent Review of Humanitarian Response to Internal Displacement
Recommendation #17:
The CCCM Cluster’s mandate should be extended beyond camps to also encompass coordination and management of formal and informal collective IDP sites […] as it usefully has done so, on an ad hoc basis in certain IDP contexts, for several years. […].
Recommendation #23:
IDP voices – their needs, aspirations and capacities – should be at the heart of a revamped humanitarian system that puts people at the centre through supporting long-term, holistic programming approaches from the early stages of displacement.
Recommendation #24
Pilot the establishment of IDP representative bodies in a few large-scale protracted IDP settings, drawing on lessons and good practice such as IDP Councils in Ukraine. These must be inclusive and representative of the IDP population – in particular women, girls and persons with disabilities.
