J-512 DFID SEAH SDDirect has been commissioned to deliver dedicated and specialist support to three DFID country offices (Nigeria, Rwanda and Nepal) and the DFID Safeguarding Unit (SGU) in three phases. They include; 1) a diagnostic phase to understand the needs of each country office and develop an action plan to address these; 2) a support phase in which remote and in-country support is provided to country office staff to support the implementation of the action plan, and 3) a learning phase where lessons learned are gathered and analysed and shared in the form of short guidance or information notes for the SGU.
In order to facilitate open and constructive conversations with country offices on their approach to safeguarding on SEAH, SDDirect will adapt and pilot their Safeguarding Diagnostic1 tool with senior management and safeguarding leads in three DFID country offices. The diagnostic is a platform-based digital tool developed to help leaders of organisations working in the international development sector to feel confident that they have robust systems, processes and resources in place to safeguard against sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment: in the workplace, in their programmes and in their partnerships. Senior SDDirect SEAH facilitators will lead this process to create a safe space for senior management to discuss issues around SEAH and identify a roadmap to strengthening their approach. Using the diagnostic tool will allow SDDirect to explore sensitive issues beyond those of working with partners to co-develop a useful action plan which addresses the key issues at hand.
SDDirect will embed a knowledge and learning approach across our work to ensure all lessons and good practice are captured to inform the development of the guidance/information notes outlined in the ToR.
