The Global Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Cluster is an Inter-Agency Standing Committee coordination mechanism that supports internally displaced persons (IDPs) to live in safe, dignified, and appropriate settings.
The Cluster also works with the affected population, communities, the local actors and other humanitarian and development actors to identify, facilitate and implement longer terms solutions for the IDP living in sites and informal setups.
Cluster Approach
Under the Cluster Approach established in 2005, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) globally co-lead the CCCM Cluster for disaster and conflict-induced IDP situations respectively.
The role of the Global Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Cluster is twofold:
1.
To coordinate between the various humanitarian actors with regards to all services provided to displaced populations within any communal settings (i.e. camps, informal settlements, collective centres); including working national authorities to support their responsibility to administer such sites through capacity building.
2.
To work with the affected population to ensure representation, on-site governance and access to information about services provided. It is important to establish two-way communication structures that inform site residents about what is happening and to give the residents the opportunity to both participate in decisions that concern them and provide feedback to humanitarian actors.
