In 2022, IOM conducted an external evaluation on the Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse and Sexual Harassment (PSEAH). A series of recommendations were identified, including the need to strengthen IOM’s Victim-Centred Approach. Over the past decade, IOM has increasingly been seen as a strong player supporting PSEAH efforts within the United Nations (UN), Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC), and amongst the humanitarian community. IOM's strategic approach to PSEAH focuses on five priority areas: 1) Leadership and Organizational Culture; 2) Institutional Accountability and Transparency; 3) Capacity-Development, Training and Communication; 4) Quality and Accessible Victim Assistance; 5) Partnership and Coordination. IOM’s PSEAH strategy prioritizes ensuring access to quality, timely and safe assistance for victims/survivors of SEAH. Building on ongoing efforts to strengthen IOM’s response to victims/survivors, the consultant will work closely with the global SEAH case management team to further develop global tools, guidance, training materials and analytical outputs to support IOM operations.
