Recommendations

Disclaimer: Open/Closed recommendations are updated semiannually.

We recommend that country directors provide the U.S. Embassy’s regional security officer with a copy of the “Survey of the Local Legal Environment” and meet to review the support services that may be provided under the Peace Corps-Department of State Memorandum of Understanding in an inital meeting and when new country diretors or regional security officers arrive at post.

We recommend that the agency implement a centralized sexual assault case management system that encompasses Volunteer sexual assault response, care, and support activities, and use the case management system to assess staff performance and identify any needed adjustments in its policies and procedures.
