84 . MOPAN 2017-18 ASSESSMENTS . UNITED NATIONS RELIEF AND WORKS AGENCY FOR PALESTINE REFUGEES IN THE NEAR EAST In terms of protection, the Protection Strategy outlines that UNRWA will aim to develop a “protection reflex” at all levels of the Agency, so that protection needs are analysed, and protection principles incorporated in all stages of programme cycle management. Protection audits are undertaken regularly to ensure protection is addressed in all aspects of UNRWA’s regular programme and project design, policies, protocols and procedures, as well as in staff training. The Tool for Incorporating Minimum Standards on Protection into UNRWA Programming and Service Delivery provides guidance to staff on implementing protection standards. Additionally, there is guidance provided for UNRWA staff to undertake a ‘Do No Harm’ assessment as part of programme design and that staff should reflect relevant issues through documentation of vulnerable groups’ rights, needs and capacities; 1, 3, 8, 18, 22, 31, 40, 104, 108 this includes reference to gender and SGBV issues. UNRWA has introduced protection checklists to incorporate protection within all project proposals. The standard project outline now includes such a checklist, which has to be completed before a project is internally approved. Gender analysis is undertaken and there is specific guidance for this but often focuses on numbers (access/participation) rather than analysis through a structural analysis of gender through a gender equality and women’s empowerment lens.
