What we do
- SEA/GBV risk assessments & action planning
- Labor management & OHS systems
- Community protection & targeted outreach
- Grievance redress design and capacity building
Risk screening → context-specific mitigation measures → stakeholder validation → training for contractors → monitoring & corrective action. We build referral pathways and confidential reporting for GBV/SEA.
