On 10th–11th February 2026, RISE conducted a two-day training for humanitarian actors on the application of a Human Rights-Based Approach (HRBA) to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) protection in Hudur, South West State of Somalia.

The training brought together frontline humanitarian partners working with displacement-affected communities to enhance their understanding and practical application of HRBA principles in protection programming. Participants strengthened their knowledge of human rights standards, accountability frameworks, participation, non-discrimination, and inclusion in humanitarian response.

Through interactive discussions and practical case studies, the sessions focused on:

• Integrating human rights principles into project planning and implementation
• Promoting meaningful participation of IDPs in decision-making
• Enhancing accountability to affected populations
• Ensuring protection of the most vulnerable and marginalized groups

This capacity-building initiative reinforces RISE’s commitment to advancing rights-based, inclusive, and dignified protection services for IDPs across South West State.
