At BRAC, we feelproud to continue carrying the baton that he handedover to us.2020 was a year full of challenges and transitionsfor BRAC International. The COVID-19 pandemicaffected the health and wellbeing of millions of peopleworldwide; it led to drastic loss of human lives andpushed people back into poverty. Many were unableto feed themselves, and children, especially girls,missed out on crucial years of schooling. However,CY 2020 was also a year full of opportunity andlearning, from which we were able to renew ourcommitment to pursue BRAC’s global strategicvision, reach out to the people we work with andgive them the hope that BRAC stands with them inand in-between crises, while ensuring the safety andhealth of our own staff and their families.The pandemic upended the lives of the people whomwe work with in 10 countries across Asia and Africa;as of December 2020, a total of 963,847 peopletested COVID-positive in the countries we operate.Our teams on the ground were able to reach over49 million people across two continents by deliveringservices and support, using recommended infectioncontrol measures, case management support,and socio-economic recovery interventions.

BRAC INTERNATIONAL SAFEGUARDINGACHIEVEMENTS 2020Safeguarding practices were initiated in BRAC from the very inception of the organisation. However,many of the practices were not formalised until 2019 when the organisation produced the overarchingsafeguarding policy and the five sub-set policies, namely: Child and Adolescent Protection policySexual Harassment Elimination policyPrevention of Workplace Bullying and Violence policyAdults with Special Needs policyWhistleblowing policyIn 2020, all these policies were adapted in the BRAC International (BI) countries considering the countrycontext and law by review of the Country Management Team and vetting by a legal counsellor. Thepolicies are now implemented in all the BI Country Offices, the Africa Regional Office in Kenya, andthe Dhaka Office in Bangladesh. All staff members have received training and orientation onsafeguarding and the five sub-set policies, along with guidelines on the reporting and responsemechanism of the organisation.All BI offices now have a committee, known as the Human Resource Compliance Committee (HRCC), inplace to review and address the complaints received in an appropriate manner. With awareness raisingin all countries on safeguarding, whistleblowing and the reporting mechanism, the number of complaintslodged in 2020 spiked to a number of 69 from only 5 in 2019.STAFF TRAINING ON SAFEGUARDING IS AN ONGOING PROCESS. IT IS INCLUDED IN THEINDUCTION OF ANY NEW STAFF JOINING THE ORGANISATION. A NUMBER OF INITIATIVESWERE TAKEN TO MAINSTREAM SAFEGUARDING WITH OTHER KEY SYSTEMS OF THEORGANISATION.An online e-course was developed in 2020 when classroom training could not take place dueto the COVID-19 pandemic.A safeguarding checklist was developed for programme design, safeguarding indicators weredeveloped to include in the Audit Charter.Some of the BI countries have started safeguarding awareness building for their programme participants andinformed them of the contact details to report any incident violating the safeguarding policy. The safeguardingclause is included in partnership agreements and partners are also oriented on safeguarding and sub-setpolicies, procedures, and the reporting mechanism.Towards the end of 2020, BI reviewed the Sexual Harassment Elimination policy to incorporate the keyelements of Protection of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA). The revised policy was reviewed and vettedby UNICEF. The BI countries have also conducted a mapping exercise to locate service providers to supportvictims/survivors of safeguarding incidents.Overall, a good attempt has been made to integrate safeguarding in various systems and processes withinthe organisation to contribute to building a safeguarding culture. However, a lot remains to be done and muchmore effort needs to be given in awareness building, incident reporting, case management, risk assessments,and capacity building. There are Safeguarding Focal Points in all the offices of BI who are working relentlesslyto advocate and support safeguarding initiatives and ensure the safeguarding standards are met adequately.Monitoring Mechanism and risk management framework, and a checklist was developed toassess safeguarding practices in different BI Countries.10 Annual Report 2020Annual Report 2020 11
