OBJECTIVES In line with the Refugee Response Plan (RRP) for Poland, the main strategic objectives of the ISCG are to support the objectives of the RRP for Poland: 1) Ensure refugees’ and other affected persons’ access to protection status and rights on a nondiscriminatory basis. 2) Promote equitable access to humanitarian assistance and services through effective information management and information sharing, facilitated by Sector-led reporting. 3) Pave the way toward solutions and expand access to social and economic opportunities to facilitate inclusion through a whole-of-society approach and in line with the Global Compact on Refugees, recognizing the critical role played by national and local actors, including NGOs and Refugee-Lead Organizations. 4) Ensure that refugees with specific needs continue to have access to targeted support and assistance, while also engaging with and strengthening community-level protective mechanisms. 5) Advance social cohesion between refugee and host communities through targeted interventions. Topics to be explored to support these objectives, could include: - Preparedness: Joint risk analysis, preparation of the contingency plan and preparedness actions (e.g. winterization) - Protection strategy: Ensuring cross-fertilization among the sectors, WGs and Networks. - Resource mobilization: Preparations for the RRP, monitoring of the funding levels, advocacy with donors, and capacity building for local partners.
