- Several global tools and initiatives that are effective and essential to the PSEAH architecture should be maintained. These include the Resource and Support Hub, the Misconduct Disclosure Scheme (and the UN’s ClearCheck), the SEAH Harmonised Reporting Scheme (and the UN’s iReport), the Investigator Qualification Training Scheme (IQTS), the PSEA Capacity Project (PSEACAP), the Interagency PSEA Community Outreach and Engagement Fund (ICVA-UNHCR) and the Common Approach to Protection from SEAH (CAPSEAH).
- Funding of these global tools needs to be long term, reliable and sustainable. Donor coordination should be strengthened, and funding models sharpened, to ensure their resilience against political shocks.
- Use of joined up, multi-stakeholder tools to drive efficiencies is now more important than ever. Their use should be maximised, including through making them better known to enhance uptake, exploring and supporting their use at country level, and ensuring their use enhances PSEAH data and evidence. Over time, use of cross sector tools should become the norm, with duplication avoided and sector specific tools aligning or merging with cross-sector efforts. Any new tool should only be developed after verifying what already exists and the added value of developing something new/else.
- Some global tools and initiatives need improvement. For example, mechanisms to provide support to survivors are not able to quickly and easily provide the full range of immediate and targeted support that many survivors need in practice (e.g. travel costs for medical or other appointments). Strengthened collective mechanisms to enhance data, evidence, monitoring and evaluation are also needed.
- There are also other collaborative initiatives or ways of working that are not global ‘tools’ but which are critical success factors that should be protected and encouraged: e.g. people, expertise and networks enable peer learning and help maintain and drive up the coherence, effectiveness and quality of PSEAH action. Better coordination and synergies with other sectors including GBV, child protection, health and peace & security sectors, including through more dialogue, sharing data between partners and learning lessons from one another, are also good practices to strengthen.
- A brief overview of key global tools and initiatives mapped against key themes in the PSEAH Resourcing Theory of Change can be found in Annex C. This will be further developed as a tool to improve awareness, use and sustainable funding of these tools.
