Tender Details
Tenders are invited for Delivering on CARE Safeguarding Commitments
Background to the assignment
CARE International has a zero tolerance towards sexual exploitation and abuse. CARE puts the well-being and safety of children, vulnerable adults and the communities we work with at the heart of its work. CARE has a preventing sexual abuse and exploitation (PSEA) policy that affirms CARE-s commitment to the welfare and protection from sexual exploitation and all forms of abuse of children, involving CARE Employees and Related Personnel.
In June 2018, DFID published new enhanced due diligence standards on safeguarding. Those standards have to be applied to all current and existing contracts CIUK holds with Dfid.
Under the DFID funded LNGB and GECT contracts, there is the pressing need to ensure that CARE Somalia and downstream partners have the system and mechanisms in place to be fully compliant with the 14 safeguarding standards - refer to Annex 1 of the Terms of Reference (see below) for full list of DfiD standards.
An initial safeguarding self-assessment was conducted in 2018 for both projects identifying weaknesses at CSOM and downstream partners level. A detailed capacity plan for CSOM and downstream partners was developed to address major gaps.
