This Network Paper presents the findings of five community-based studies on self- protection in Myanmar (Burma), Sudan, South Sudan and Zimbabwe. The studies demonstrate how vulnerable people take the lead in activities to protect themselves and their communities, and how local understandings of 'protection' vary from how the concept is used by international humanitarian agencies. The author argues that self-protection activities are rarely acknowledged or effectively supported by aid agencies.
