Derived from UNFPA’s policy and mandate to enhance awareness in regard to the prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA) and as the UNFPA Executive Director Dr. Natalia Kanem assumed the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Championship on Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse and Sexual Harassment (PSEAH), UNFPA GCC was selected as one of three UN agencies to lead the UN Country Team (UNCT) of KSA to develop an internal PSEA action plan and annual strategy.
Early April, the PSEA Focal Point of UNFPA GCC provided a presentation to the entire UNCT members highlighting the role of the agency to Prevent, Respond and Protect against PSEA and the best lessons in this area.
This joint activity, in co-operation with the Resident Coordinator Office (RCO), was attended by more than 18 UNCT members to ensure spread of knowledge and maximum outreach. The Action Plan and Strategy are to be concluded and ready for dissemination within the next couple of months.
