Empowered Aid Toolkit for Planning and Monitoring Safer Aid Distributions
This toolkit applies findings and recommendations shared by women and girls from participatory research on how to reduce sexual exploitation and abuse in aid distribution. The distribution monitoring tools contained in this toolkit have been modified to better account for sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) risks. The Toolkit includes four adapted distribution monitoring tools: (1) a safety audit or observational monitoring tool, (2) a point of distribution questionnaire, (3) a household survey, and (4) a focus group discussion tool with guidance on how to plan, train, collect data, and conduct analysis using the adapted tools. These tools can be used to proactively identify and address known barriers and risks for SEA that inhibit aid distributions from being safe for women and girls. A shared drive of additional resources and templates to support toolkit users is available to anyone.
The Toolkit and accompanying shared drive files are now available in Arabic, French, Bangla, and Spanish.
