Data Collector - 2 Vacancies

Background

 Since its magnitude first came to light in 2002 the aid community’s focus on addressing sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) has primarily rested on establishing reporting mechanisms and punitive actions against perpetrators of such violence, and only recently shifted toward documented, pro-active measures to mitigate risk and prevent abuse and exploitation from occurring. This project seeks to further examine:

• the mechanisms through which material aid (i.e. food and non-food items) is delivered, and

• how these processes might inadvertently increase the risks of SEA within affected populations, to address them.

Its goal is to support the creation or adaptation of aid delivery models that actively work to reduce power disparities and give women and girls a sustained voice in how aid is delivered.
