“The DAC Recommendation is the first international instrument on sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) and sexual harassment (SH) that applies to development co-operation and humanitarian assistance. The DAC Recommendation aims to embody an ambitious standard to build systems best fit to prevent and respond to SEA and SH and is built around six pillars:

1. Policies, professional conduct standards, organisational change and leadership 

2. Survivor/victim-centred response and support mechanisms

3. Organisational reporting, response systems and procedures 

4. Training, awareness raising and communication

5. International coordination

6. Monitoring, evaluation, shared learning and reporting.”
