IDP PROTECTION ASSESSMENT REPORT Armed Confrontations and Displacement in Marawi (AFP vs Pro-ISIS) Incident Date: 23 May 2017 Issue No. 06 dated 13 December 2017 HIGHLIGHTS The displaced population continues to face prevailing protection concerns. These include, among others: 1. Limited access to appropriate information on IDP Return. 2. lack of documentary requirements for IDPs to return. 3. Decreasing access to humanitarian assistance by IDPs. 4. Limited access to basic services in return sites, particularly water and livelihood opportunities. Protection Cluster E-mail: phicoprc@unhcr.org I Telephone: +63 64 421 7945 (Cotabato) / +63 63 224 6567 (Iligan) 1 P a g e

KEY MESSAGES On Access to Humanitarian Services 1. Improve protection and access to assistance, particularly for home-based IDPs in terms of type and frequency to meet needs, given that 91 percent primarily depend on relief assistance to meet basic needs. Particular attention should be given to those who have received the least assistance in the past 1-3 months. 2. Priority needs vary according to gender roles performed by individuals in coping with their situation while in displacement. Age-specific and gender specific assessment of needs and prioritization of response should be reinforced. 3. A community-based approach is adopted to provide incentives to the host population who will continue to play a key role in providing support to IDPs from the 24 most affected barangays who will be experiencing protracted displacement. Wherever possible, assistance is provided to host families and investments are made to enhance community social service that will benefit the host community concerned. On IDP Return and Housing, Land and Property (HLP) 4. Ensure sustainable re-integration, voluntary return or resettlement of IDPs in safety, with dignity and without discrimination. 5. Strengthen multi-purpose cadastral or other appropriate systems for the registration of housing, land and property, respecting the rights of the IDPs and their local practices and traditions on housing, land and property. 6. Provision of legal advice and assistance to IDPs and returnees who have lost legal documents showing title or tenure over their land and property during the Marawi Crisis. On Freedom of Movement 7. Reinforce and broaden issuance of identity documents for those who are not in possession of such, especially among the IDPs. 8. Ensure that consultation processes are facilitated, in which IDPs are able to fully participate and express their views and concerns including, inter alia, freedom of movement.

The IDP Protection Assessment Form (IDPPAR) The IDP Protection Assessment Form aims to provide a starting point for information and analysis that can help humanitarian agencies, policy makers and other stakeholders concerning instances of forced displacement or solutions (repatriation, resettlement, integration). The number of people displaced/affected may differ from the number in need of humanitarian assistance. To the extent possible, the terminology used in the Dashboard reflects the UN Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and other sources of international law and practice. The information reported in the IDP Protection Assessment Forms has been received from members of the Protection Cluster across Mindanao. Consequently, unreported cases of forced displacement and solutions are not reflected. Updates will be provided as and when more information is received from members. Although efforts are made to verify the data, the Protection Cluster takes no responsibility for the incompleteness or inaccuracy of the information. At the end of every month, this data is compiled and distributed through the 'Protection Dashboard'. The information provided in this IDP Assessment Report does not necessarily reflect the views of UNHCR or any individual member of the Protection Cluster. The Protection Cluster In the Philippines, the protection cluster has been established by the National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) Circular No 5 series of 10 May 2007 (Institutionalizing Cluster Approach in Philippine Disaster System). The cluster approach is part of a global response aimed at providing more timely and consistent help to the internally displaced and other affected people in complex emergencies and disasters. The Protection Cluster in Mindanao meets in Cotabato, Iligan, Davao and other cities on a regular basis. Currently there are over 100 participating agencies including from the Government, State, Civil Society, national and international NGOs and agencies, as well as the United Nations.
