Protection monitoring is the systematic and regular collection, verification, and analysis of information over an extended period to identify violations of rights and/or protection risks, priorities for, and needs of populations of concern.
The results of monitoring can be used to achieve coherent and evidence-based community focused response and advocacy.
Protection monitoring in Armenia is conducted by UNHCR through different data collection tools, including individual/household interviews and key informants’ interviews as well as observations. It also accounts for information coming through UNHCR-operated hotline.
