How we deliver it
Every assignment follows the same six steps: understand the context, assess needs and capacity, design the response, deliver practical support, transfer skills and systems, then review and learn. Scope, work plan, methods, roles, deliverables and indicators are agreed in writing before delivery begins.
Conflict sensitivity, gender equality and social inclusion, safeguarding, accountability, confidentiality, anti-corruption and respect for national law apply across all of it.
