FrançaisPROTECT (Holistic program for strengthening population protection) is a multidisciplinary initiative designed to address vulnerabilities and ensure the protection of populations in challenging social, political, and environmental contexts. The project integrates humanitarian, development, and disaster management actions to create a comprehensive framework for population protection.
Funded by international partners, including the Swiss Cooperation, USAID, and Dutch Cooperation, PROTECT works closely with local governments, civil society, and academic institutions to ensure its relevance and sustainability.
