Approach in Action

Gender, Inclusion and SEA/SH Prevention

Projects that reach women and vulnerable groups and keep people safe: gender action plans and SEA/SH risk management that work in practice.

The problem we solve

Financiers now require projects to close gender gaps and to prevent sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment linked to project activities. Many teams have the plans on paper but no routines, trained staff or contractor obligations to make them real.

Our method, phase by phase

Phase 1 of 5

Gap and risk assessment

  • Gender analysis of project activities and results
  • SEA/SH risk rating and hotspot mapping
  • Review of contractor obligations and codes of conduct

Deliverable: Gender and SEA/SH assessment

Can we try the method before engaging Risalat?
