Language: English Example - Community-Led Projects Guidance - Yemen 2023.pdf Community-led projects (CLPs) are an empowering modality of humanitarian aid that hands over decision-making and ownership of the humanitarian process to the affected communities. CLPs are based on the solutions that the communities themselves identify, propose, and implement, using their own capacities and resources. CLPs also foster social cohesion, resilience, and dignity among displaced and host populations, and rely on the mobilization and participation of the community members, who can drive and sustain the solutions with minimal or no external assistance. The Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) partners are well-positioned to lead on this modality in IDP sites, as CCCM has the mandate and expertise to coordinate and facilitate the delivery of protection and services in communal settings, such as camps, informal settlements, and collective centers. The CCCM Cluster also works closely with the affected population to ensure representation, participation, and access to information. Additionally, CCCM has a cross-sectoral approach that allows for prioritization and integration of various needs and interventions in a holistic manner. CCCM partners support CLPs by providing training, material support, and other facilitation as needed, while respecting the community’s autonomy and agency. The CCCM Cluster also ensures that CLPs are responsive to lead the needs and priorities of the affected community, and that they are cross-sectoral in nature as much as possible, addressing various issues and interventions in a holistic manner. CLPs should answer to the common interests of the community rather than the benefit of a few individuals. While community leadership in CLPs may occur through representatives, they should be accountable and inclusive of the diverse voices and needs within the community.
