We are proving that we can come together as a united human family to holistically tackle sexual exploitation and abuse, let us apply an equally comprehensive, vigorous, and unrelenting focus to eradicating gender-based violence as well.
As part of our mission to mitigate the impact of the suffering of the vulnerable and affected population, Concern for Women and Children Development Foundation (COWACDI) and Hope Alive Care (HAC) in partnership with MCN and supported by the British Council with funding from the European Union were able to empower 50 affected persons by flood in Borno State.
Six months ago, COWACDI was selected to participate in the Organizational Capacity-building Assessment (OCA) anchored by PACHE and funded by USAID, where the organization went through a series of capacity-building training ranging from administrative capacity, policy-making, program management, finance, monitoring & evaluations, and other key thematic areas that need strengthening. The results from the first and final OCA show a massive improvement in the abilities of the organization at large.
The involvement of humanitarian workers in acts of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse is a grave violation of our responsibility to do no harm and to protect people affected by crises. COWACDI is firmly committed to the global fight to eradicate sexual exploitation and abuse through PSEA Awareness and Sensitization Campaign.
