Overall targets
The objective is for the five partnering organisations to take collective action to protect from sexual exploitation and abuse and sexual harassment and corruption in the context of implementation of civic and humanitarian interventions in Tunisia, Jordan, Ghana and Somaliland. Working with vulnerable children and youth as target group we have an obligation to strengthen our organisations’ abilities to respond to potential violations of child rights, to raise awareness of how to act on misconduct and to create a safe culture for reporting violations.
Immediate targets
The intervention will provide the partnering organisations with 1. a contextualized code of conduct outlining appropriate behaviour for employees, volunteers and collaborators 2. Locally adapted reporting/complaint systems that are accessible and safe to use 3. training concepts for staff and volunteers 4. roadmaps and resources for implementation of code of conduct and complaint systems in hiring procedures, training of staff and volunteer education
Target groups
The primary target groups are staff, interns and Playmakers (volunteers) of all the partnering organisations, approximately 380 people. These are they duty bearers, who are obliged to follow the code of conduct, to act responsibly and to promote the rights and safety of fellow staff and playmakers as well as the children they are in contact with though implementation of humanitarian and civic activities. The secondary target group are children and adolescents who participate in activities, approximately 2.450 boys and girls. The secondary target group are the most vulnerable to misconduct from the primary target group and others. The third target group are parents and key representatives in the communities. This target group includes people in the community who are regularly engaging with children and youth in the primary and secondary target group and who may be potential witnesses to misconduct. t.
Resume
The objective is for the five partnering organisations to take collective action to protect from sexual exploitation and abuse and sexual harassment and corruption in the context of implementation of civic and humanitarian interventions in Tunisia, Jordan, Ghana and Somaliland. The intervention will use the methodology of participatory design thinking and an experimental approach in developing a contextualized code of conduct, locally adapted reporting systems and training concepts for staff and volunteers. The intervention will have a particular focus on volunteers who through GAME and partners are trained to facilitate activities for children and youth in their local communities. It is crucial that they are aware of their obligations and rights, and are encouraged to speak up about harassment and exploitation if it occurs. An outcome of the intervention will be training modules that will be adapted in future volunteer trainings, strengthening awareness of their rights among youth.
