SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT
The Southeast Asia Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Prevention Platform (the Platform) is an AUD20 million investment over five years (2023-24 to 2028-29). The investment will build on Australia’s leadership in GBV prevention and response, by addressing a need and demand for increased investment in, and coordination of, GBV prevention initiatives in the Southeast Asia region. The Platform’s guiding principles include: locally driven, evidence-based, intersectional, survivor-centred and trauma informed, adaptive, collaborative and catalysing, minimise harm, accessible and innovative. It will bring together partner governments, WROs, NGOs, donors, international organisations, and regional bodies, providing a convening platform for these stakeholders to collaborate to build capacity and evidence, and improve and accelerate action to prevent GBV. The Platform will utilise and build on global evidence and learning to support practitioners to strengthen and increase locally informed and led evidence-based policy and practice to prevent GBV within households, communities and countries across diverse settings. This includes both careful and high-quality adaptation of evidence-based models from other regions, support the capture and use of locally informed and led GBV prevention evidence and practice, as well as support to develop, strengthen and test new and innovative approaches to GBV prevention. The Platform will leverage Australian government partnerships with UN Women and UNFPA, and several complementary DFAT bilateral and regional investments. In addition, it will link Southeast Asian knowledge, capacity and practice to global, multilateral and Australian GBV prevention initiatives to extend and amplify program impacts and outcomes.
Working in the field of GBV, individuals are at risk of burnout and vicarious and complex trauma. As noted above, the Platform is committed to minimising harm and trauma informed approaches both in the work that it does with partners and beneficiaries and for its own staff. Central to this commitment and strategy is establishing a high-quality Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
OVERVIEW OF SERVIES
The objective of the services is to provide high quality, inclusive Employee Assistance Program for staff of the Southeast Asia Gender-based Violence Prevention Platform, contributing to greater psychosocial well-being for individuals, the team and organisation. The EAP will be accessible to all Platform staff around Southeast Asia, regardless of location, either virtually or in person.
