Minimum Operational Guidance for Multi-Purpose Hubs Route-Based Approach

Multi-Purpose Hubs offer a practical, context-adaptable model for delivering protection, information, and access to services for refugees, asylum seekers and other at-risk groups along key mixed movement routes. By anchoring responses in protection needs and working through inclusive, multi-actor partnerships, Hubs can help reduce risks and open safe and lawful alternatives to irregular journeys. Their effectiveness depends on strong coordination, integration with national systems, sustained engagement with affected communities, and flexible implementation tailored to each context.
