UNHCR has developed a learning package to help partners enhance their skills in investigating allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse against beneficiaries of humanitarian assistance.
This learning package, which consists of an online e-learning course and a resource kit, is one of the deliverables of the UN High Commissioner for Refugee´s IASC Championship on Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse and Sexual Harassment (September 2019 – December 2020), and closely aligns with his commitment to support partners and working jointly to enhance capacity and accountability.
This document lists the accountabilities of UN leadership (RC/HC) in relation to the prevention of and response to sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA).
In 2019, the Humanitarian Country Team in the Central African Republic identified Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse as a priority area for improving collective accountability. This was also reflected in the Humanitarian Response Plan and the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) compact. Throughout 2020, humanitarian actors boosted awareness-raising, training, feedback and complaint mechanisms as well as services and assistance to survivors. These activities enabled the system to better detect and respond to possible SEA allegations.
