Nefco recognises that sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment (SEAH) violate dignity and legal norms and create a hostile working environment. SEAH may also negatively affect and undermine the legitimacy, efficiency and successful implementation of projects aimed at financial, social and environmental development.

Nefco encourages all counterparties and other cooperation partners to establish policies and safeguards relating to prevention of sexual abuse, harassment and exploitation.

Nefco will take all appropriate measures to prevent, detect, investigate and respond to SEAH in any Nefco activity.
