Recommendation
The measures promoted by the Safeguarding Leads Network appear to be consistent with DFID’s enhanced due diligence assessments for implementing partners and should be applied consistently, including to private sector partners, in order to strengthen safeguarding standards across all aspects of aid delivery. The FCDO should enforce the enhanced due diligence procedures developed by DFID and ensure compliance is more than a tick-box exercise at its delivery partners.
Government Response Summary
The government states that it has recently agreed to enforce enhanced due diligence procedures, including their consistent application to private sector partners, to strengthen safeguarding standards across all aspects of aid delivery.
