Protection information management (PIM). Working Meeting Outcome Document

The provision of key protection information about afected populations is an essential
requirement in order to enable the humanitarian community to base programming
plans and responses on available evidence and informed analysis. Unlike some
other areas of information management, such as health, education, or nutrition, the
discipline of PIM is not well defined, structured, or coordinated. Subsequently, in order
to respond to protection crisis there is a need within the humanitarian community
to have a well-articulated and common understanding of PIM, its defnition, key
components, standards, tools, and methodologies.
