Recommendations

Disclaimer: Open/Closed recommendations are updated semiannually.

We recommend that the director of programming and training improve the process programming staff use to identify and select counterparts to ensure that counterparts are willing, motivated, and available work partners to the Volunteers.

We recommend that the director of programming and training, programming staff, and the safety and security manager develop and implement a process to ensure that all required documentation is included in the safety and security site history files.

We recommend that the safety and security manager organize the safety and security site history files geographically to include all Volunteers who have served or are serving at a site.

We recommend that the regional director for Africa Operations ensures a replacement country director for Peace Corps/Benin is in country as soon as possible to minimize future vacancies at post.

We recommend that the country director and the director of programming and training work with the VAC to identify specific ways to improve Volunteer-staff communication to enhance transparency, reduce hearsay, and increase trust between staff and Volunteers, when appropriate.
