Protection is Possible. How an innovative operating model strengthened safeguarding for the Girls’ Education Challenge – UKaid

“This paper shares how the Girls Education Challenge (GEC) and its implementing partners improved safeguarding standards together. In particular, the lessons learned from [their] recent experience provide valuable recommendations for the wider development sector – and beyond education. 

The safeguarding approach described in this paper is particularly relevant for fund managers of organisations that have operations in multiple countries. 

Likewise for international NGOs and multilateral partners with multiple projects in their portfolios, the GEC’s Safeguarding Operating Model can help in establishing or maintaining standards across a wide number of country offices and partners.”
