The Foundation for Security and Development in Africa (FOSDA) is reputable Civil Society Organization (CSO) in Ghana. Under the leadership of its governance board and supportive patrons, FOSDA promotes peace and human security by working to realise the lasting potential of communities and individuals through the systematic and effective sharing of information, knowledge and skills. The work of FOSDA brings the organization into contact with young people, women, staff of other CSOs, public and civil servants working in Ministries, Departments and Agencies, Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies, consultants, suppliers, volunteers and interns. FOSDA understands that working with various stakeholders with different interests, motivations and power could engender risks of harm and abuse to people. This calls for policies and procedures to protect people from sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA), discrimination, neglect, and other forms of harm to people, especially children, young people, persons with disabilities and other adults at risk. FOSDA, through this safeguarding policy therefore accepts the responsibility to prevent such forms of abuse at its work place and programme communities and when they do occur, commit to provide an accessible complaints handling mechanism where
survivors can report and receive the best form of care and support internally and externally from the relevant state institutions such as the Ghana Police Service, Department of Social Welfare,
Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) and other human rights institutions.
