The inter-agency Protection Standby Capacity Project (ProCap) and Gender Standby Capacity Project (GenCap) envision a world in which all people affected by humanitarian crises are protected and humanitarian action prioritizes gender equality.

To help ensure the centrality of protection and gender in humanitarian action, the projects work to strengthen leadership, programmes and localization strategies by providing direct support to field operations through the deployment of Senior Advisers who work closely with Resident Coordinators and Humanitarian Coordinators (RC/HCs), Humanitarian Country Teams (HCTs) and other stakeholders, including national partners.

 ProCap and GenCap Senior Advisers are highly skilled and experienced, representing an independent, inter-agency resource for collective response.
