NGOs & International Organizations
Gender equality is the mission. It has to start inside.
International organisations and NGOs work to advance gender equality, protect human rights, and deliver humanitarian assistance in some of the world’s most complex environments. Yet internal culture, power dynamics, and operational pressures can mean that the values the organisation promotes externally are not always lived internally.
GenderGaze supports NGOs, UN agencies, multilateral organisations, and development NGOs to build internal gender equality systems that are coherent with their external mandate — and robust enough to protect the people they serve and the people who serve them.
Protection from Sexual Exploitation, Abuse, and Harassment (PSEAH)
Additional services for NGOs and international organisations:
The protection of beneficiaries, partners, and staff from sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment (PSEAH) is now a non-negotiable standard across the international development and humanitarian sector.
Donor requirements, inter-agency commitments, and organisational accountability frameworks all demand systematic PSEAH integration — not as a standalone policy, but as a mainstreamed organisational practice.
GenderGaze brings direct operational experience supporting PSEAH implementation at country, regional, and global levels.
Our PSEAH services for NGOs and international organisations:
- Programmatic PSEAH integration — supporting organisations to ensure PSEAH considerations are embedded in programme design, project proposals, budgets, and reporting cycles.
- SEA risk assessments and mitigation planning — support to identify context-specific PSEAH risks.
- PSEAH action plan development — country-level and mission-level action plans that are specific, measurable, and aligned with global standards including the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) PSEA standards and donor requirements.
- PSEAH Officer and Focal Point capacity building — training and technical support for designated PSEAH staff in country offices and field operations, including case management guidance, referral network development, and documentation standards.
- Inter-agency representation and coordination — GenderGaze can support organisations in contributing to inter-agency PSEA coordination forums and regional mechanisms, building collective approaches to SEAH prevention.
- Knowledge management and learning — documenting good practices, lessons learned, and field innovations to support peer exchange across country offices and contribute to global knowledge products.
- Participatory Gender Audits — ILO-certified internal gender diagnosis, aligned with both operational realities and donor accountability expectations.
- Gender mainstreaming support — integrating gender analysis into project design, monitoring and evaluation frameworks, and sector-specific programme tools.
- Equality plan design — for headquarters and country offices, adapted to the national legal frameworks in which the organisation operates.
- Staff training programmes — gender lens, inclusive leadership, PSEAH awareness, and diversity management. Delivered remotely or in-country, in English and Spanish.
- Organisational culture assessment — identifying internal barriers to gender equality and inclusion that may undermine both staff wellbeing and programme quality.
