Policies and Stratergies

Child Protection Policy 

Ntengwe for Community Development is committed to ensuring that all rights set out in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and its Optional Protocols are fulfilled – now, in times of crisis, and in the future, for all children.

Ntengwe for Community Development Protection from Sexual Harassment, Exploitation, and Abuse (PSHEA) Policy

Ntengwe has zero tolerance for all forms of sexual wrongdoing including Sexual Harassment, Exploitation and Sexual and Abuse in all its activities.

Safeguarding Policy 

We have many programs across the country where we strive to protect children from harm. As we strive to do in our child protection programs, it is equally important to promote safeguarding to ensure that Ntengwe is safe for children, youths and adults by promoting awareness and mitigating the risk of or actual harm that may come to children and young people by employees, volunteers, partners, representatives, programming, vendors or operations.  

Gender Policy 

Ntengwe for Community Development is doing whatever it takes to ensure to promote gender equality. Our dream is to see a world where women and men, girls and boys and youth of diverse gender identities are heard, valued and have access to equal opportunities. We believe that all women and girls should be empowered to live their lives, speak their minds and determine their own future. Placing gender equality at the heart of our work will have a resounding impact on the lives of women, children and families that we serve, creating positive and sustainable change in their communities. 

Guidance Policy on Working with People with Disabilities 

Ntengwe for Community Development’s Guidance policy on people with disabilities (PWDs) provides guidelines towards how Ntengwe staff and stakeholders shall handle PWDs during the execution of their duties on behalf of Ntengwe, employment of PWDs, and HIV/AIDS and PWDs and any other provisions that may be brought into effect by this or any related local, regional or international policy in support of PWDs.
