Since 2018 the UK has led in advocating improved global standards and performance on safeguarding against sexual exploitation and abuse and sexual harassment (SEAH) in the international aid sector. This included hosting an international Safeguarding Summit in October 2018. View the host’s outcome summary from the conference. At the summit 22 donors made commitments to bring about four long-term strategic shifts to prevent SEAH in the international aid sector, and to improve the response when cases occur.

This progress report summarises the FCDO’s work between August 2021 and August 2022 to meet the 2018 donor commitments. It also summarises progress by the FCDO and other relevant UK government departments in meeting the September 2020 UK Strategy: Safeguarding Against SEAH within the Aid Sector objectives.
