Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance: Update internal guidance to clarify (1) the language describing the measures of risk posed by sanctioned groups that are sufficient to prompt Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance staff to complete additional due diligence, and (2) how changes to the response context should influence the award approval process regarding the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance's assessment of risk posed by sanctioned groups.
Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance: Update the Emergency Application Guidelines to clarify applicant instructions for responding to additional requirements for high-risk environments in cases where a country is not on the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance's non-exclusive list but where sanctioned groups are present.
Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance: Review the sanctioned group risk analyses for El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras to respond to the guiding questions that were not fully answered in one country analysis and to specifically consider risks identified by the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance and implementers in other analyses, as appropriate, and update those analyses as necessary.
Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance: Establish a requirement for documenting the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance staff's review of all applicants' Risk Assessment and Management Plans.
Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance: Conduct an analysis to determine what, if any, options exist to further reduce the risk of beneficiary duplication among Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance-funded implementers of cash transfer activities in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, until such time as country cash-working groups have sufficient capacity to support these efforts.
