Innovation, Research and Learning in WeWorld

WeWorld believes that collaboration and partnership, starting with the people affected by crisis, improve the results, impact and uptake of bottom-up lessons learned and best practices. Conscious of this, WeWorld established a dedicated Task Force in 2018, which evolved in an organizational structure specifically dedicated to continuously work on innovation, research and learning. The WeWorld E-learning platform is one of the first results of these efforts. The Integrated Protection Development and Analysis Area and the International Advocacy, Policy and Innovation Area, work together in combining action-research within the International Programs and the International Advocacy and Policy activities. The WeWorld E-learning platform targets WeWorld staff and the population affected by crisis supported by the organization. It is however designed to share knowledge and learning openly and broadly, and it is accessible to any individual, actor or organization.

The Community Protection Approach

Since 2013, WeWorld has developed and adapted a people-centred right-based Community Protection Approach. The CPA puts the community at the centre and aims at increasing communities and individuals’ capacities to make informed decisions about their safety, to reorganize their resources in developing local strategies to increase protection from hindered access to safe and dignified living. The CPA methodological instruments are modular and adaptable to existing mechanisms in different contexts. By providing a single programmatic framework of analysis, the CPA supports the coordinated mobilization of multi-stakeholders and multi-sector efforts, to prevent and respond to the most serious protection risks, thus enabling opportunities to ensure safety and dignity to the affected population, and fostering the identification of the comparative advantage of each stakeholder in a specific area. The CPA principles are embedded in the design and development of the WeWorld E-learning platform. For more information please visit
