17. Regarding GBV:
i. Provide input to the GBV Allegation Procedures and Response Protocol developed by the GCT as part of the final cleared GBV Action Plan.
ii. Once adopted by the Company, managers will uphold the Accountability Measures set forth in the GBV Action Plan to maintain the confidentiality of all employees who report or (allegedly) perpetrate incidences of GBV (unless a breach of confidentiality is required to protect persons or property from serious harm or where required by law).
iii. If a manager develops concerns or suspicions regarding any form of GBV by one of his/her direct reports, or by an employee working for another contractor on the same work site, s/he is required to report the case using the GRM.
iv. Once a sanction has been determined, the relevant manager(s) is/are expected to be personally responsible for ensuring that the measure is effectively enforced, within a maximum timeframe of 14 days from the date on which the decision to sanction was made by the GCT.
v. If a Manager has a conflict of interest due to personal or familial relationships with the survivor and/or perpetrator, he/she must notify the Company and the GCT. The Company will be required to appoint another manager without a conflict of interest to respond to complaints.
vi. Ensure that any GBV issue warranting Police action is reported to the Police, the client and the World Bank immediately.
18. Managers failing to address ESHS or OHS incidents, or failing to report or comply with the GBV provisions may be subject to disciplinary measures to be determined and enacted by the Company's CEO, Managing Director or equivalent highest-ranking manager. Those measures may include:
i. Informal warning
ii. Formal warning
iii. Additional training
iv. Loss of up to one week's salary
