with Volunteers before and while conducting their assignments.

We recommend that OSIRP take the lead among relevant Peace Corps offices to standardize the use of the term secondary assignment or secondary activities.

We recommend that the country director routinely evaluate the performance of all trainers.

We recommend that the country director continue to coordinate with the VAC and address Volunteer perceptions of staff support.

We recommend that the country director increase the vetting and monitoring of homestays and address problematic situations in a timely and resolute manner.
