Accountability

Preventing harm or addressing incidences of harm (through harassment, exploitation or abuse) to DCAF personnel, partners and stakeholders embodies DCAF’s Duty of Care principle. 

As a socially responsible employer DCAF’s Integrity Policy outlines the responsibility of all personnel working with or for DCAF to prevent harm to both people and the organisation. It emphasises reporter protection and victim-centered approach in the handling of all cases. 

Reports can be submitted anonymously through the Integrity Reporting Platform. It is simple to use and available in 4 languages – English, French, Spanish and Arabic.  All reports will be handled with utmost care and will remain confidential. 

This evaluation was commissioned by the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) and looks at the relevance, effectiveness efficiency and sustainability of the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP), the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD), and the Geneva Centre for Security Sector Governance (DCAF).

"DCAF is praised as the centre of excellence on SSG/R related matters, for its unique breadth and width of engagement. No other SSG/R organisation can be credited with DCAF’s complementary levels of intervention in the field and at policy level, its gender expertise, focus on knowledge, convening power and neutrality."
