Recommendations

Disclaimer: Open/Closed recommendations are updated semiannually.

We recommend that the country director, safety and security manager, and Peace Corps safety and security officer examine the transportation options of Volunteers required to travel in and out of remote sites in Senegal, and, if necessary, seek approval for any proposed changes to the post’s transportation policy.

We recommend that the director of programming and training ensure that staff involved in identifying and approving Volunteer sites in remote parts of the country obtain and document accurate information about the transportation options Volunteers in those sites will be able to use.

We recommend that the country director, with input from the Volunteer Advisory Committee, update the Volunteer Handbook to clarify how non-safety and security staff members access and use whereabouts reporting data.

We recommend that the safety and security manager accurately note each Volunteer’s consolidation point in the Volunteer Information Database Application and the Emergency Action Manual and provide the correct information to Volunteers.

We recommend that the country director periodically remind Volunteers and trainees about the Quality Nurse Line.
