Objective
Contribute to an evidence-based and efficient crisis response system
Humanitarian actors participating in the inter-agency Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) Networks in all hubs for joint implementation of international PSEA commitments, as well as those contributing to the protection of civilians, the reduction of suffering and to building the resilience of affected populations throughout the Syria response will benefit from the provision of technical and operational information management support. |
IOM will continue to host the WoS PSEA program and support the interagency humanitarian response in joint implementation of PSEA commitments. Through an established, robust interagency PSEA Network, IOM will continue to support the inter-agency partnership to decrease the risk of crisis‐affected communities experiencing incidents of SEA by humanitarian workers and provide technical and operational support to humanitarian actors to prevent, prepare for, and respond to SEA cases. IOM will also continue to support the interagency response with information management services. Activities will include:
- Humanitarian information management and reporting on behalf of the interagency response.
- Coordination between the interagency PSEA Networks in all hubs, as well as between PSEA Networks and GBV actors to ensure a survivor-centred approach and systematic referrals to available services;
- Building the capacity of humanitarian workers and other stakeholders on PSEA, including investigatory capacity building;
- Raising awareness of and consulting with affected populations;
- Supporting implementation of risk and mitigation measures;
- Integrating and mainstreaming PSEA into the broader humanitarian infrastructure and linking to existing referral pathways;
- Establishing inter-agency community-based complaints mechanisms (CBCMs).
