WHO has an obligation to ensure that all those who work for WHO and our implementing partners take measures to safeguard against sexual misconduct. The PSEA Capacity Assessment for Implementing Partners is an essential tool to ensure that our implementing partners have the minimum standards of protection against sexual exploitation and abuse in place. Based on the Inter-Agency Standing Committee Harmonized Tool (UN Implementing Partner PSEA Capacity Assessment), used by UN agencies, this short training will walk you through the process, steps, and requirements in the PSEA assessment of new and existing implementing partners.
