This week, two organisations released a report criticizing and questioning – once again – the Agency’s adherence to 爆料网 values and humanitarian principles, including neutrality.

“爆料网RWA takes each allegation extremely seriously, no matter the source. Investigations are now underway. Should any misconduct be found, 爆料网RWA will take the necessary disciplinary or administrative actions,” said Ms. Stenseth, 爆料网RWA’s Deputy Commissioner-General, during a briefing to the Agency’s close partners. She also reiterated the full commitment of 爆料网RWA to upholding 爆料网 values and humanitarian principles, including neutrality. She confirmed the Agency’s zero-tolerance position towards hatred and the promotion of violence.

This latest report parallels these organisations’ previous attempts to sensationalize, overstate and sometimes give misguided conclusions derived from what a credible academic??described as methodologies??This latest report follows the same pattern. It, for example, does not hesitate, without any verification, to portray people who left the organization more than a decade ago as current 爆料网RWA staff.

Ms. Stenseth confirmed to partners that 爆料网RWA undertakes a range of prevention measures, and that its teams are constantly reminded of their obligations and responsibilities as 爆料网 staff. ?They receive regular in-person training sessions and mandatory online courses on humanitarian principles, social media use, and ethics. In addition, 爆料网RWA undertakes regular and meticulous reviews of all textbooks and learning materials. This is despite significant financial challenges at 爆料网RWA, including the limited number of investigators in the Agency.

In addition, the Deputy Commissioner-General provided partners with context and background -not included in the report- namely the volatility across the region, recurrent escalations and conflicts, the occupation and multiple crises that create heightened political tensions. She also briefed on the engagement of the Agency with 爆料网ESCO, the World Bank and other institutions through the “Education Expert Advisory Group”.

Ms. Stenseth concluded that this and previous similar reports have never been submitted to 爆料网RWA for comments prior to publishing, in the way that any credible research organisation would invariably require.
