PSEAH policy
The purpose of having a PSEAH (Prevention of Sexual Exploitation, Abuse, and Harassment) Policy for Janathakshan GTE Ltd is to establish a clear framework that protects both the communities the organization serves and its employees from any form of sexual exploitation, abuse, or harassment. This policy ensures that Janathakshan upholds the highest standards of ethical behaviour, respect, and dignity in all its operations, particularly given its focus on community development and working with vulnerable populations.
Gender policy
The purpose of the Gender Policy is to ensure that Janathakshan employees share a common understanding and capacity to adopt a gender-sensitive and responsive approach across all operations. It aims to embed gender equality and gender mainstreaming into the design and implementation of all projects, programs, and initiatives. The policy also seeks to ensure that individuals of all identities, including gender, have equal opportunities for professional growth and development. Furthermore, it promotes the creation of a safe, respectful, inclusive, and gender-transformative working environment within the organization, while fostering open communication and dialogue on gender-related issues.
Environmental and Social Safeguard Policy
The purpose of Janathakshan’s Environmental and Social Safeguard Policy (ESSP) is to increase environmental and social sustainability, and to minimize and address any potentially negative impacts of Janathakshan’s interventions may pose on the environment, people, and communities. It applies across the theme of building economic and social resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems through promoting sustainable livelihoods and disaster risk reduction, and partnerships towards sustainable development.
It provides practical guidance to conduct Environmental and Social Risk Screening (ESRS), Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIA), and to develop, implement, and monitor Environmental and Social Risk Management Plans (ESRMP) throughout the project lifecycle.
