This toolkit was developed under the framework of the Strengthening Partners in Protection Against Sexual Exploitation and Abuse through Protection Mainstreaming (SPSEA) project, a three-year pilot project supported by USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA).
The Strengthening Partners in Protection Against Sexual Exploitation and Abuse through Protection Mainstreaming (SPSEA) project is a two-year pilot project led by CRS and funded by USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance. The project aims to provide capacity building support to 38 national organizations in Haiti, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Indonesia and the Philippines, to strengthen systems and practices to prevent, mitigate and respond to sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) within the organizations and the communities they serve. Project activities include training and accompaniment aimed at raising awareness and increasing knowledge of protection against SEA and developing PSEA-sensitive policies and procedures.
Catholic Relief Services developed this toolkit with significant inputs from its country programs in the four countries, as well as its Humanitarian Response Department (HRD).
