The PCA is a capacity assessment (CA) carried out through proxies rather than first-hand (such as ICA and ECA). PCA uses third-party information about the partner’s capacity instead of conducting a new assessment.

The IASC definition of persons with disabilities reads “include those who have long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments which, in interaction with various barriers, may hinder their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others”. 

The PI is a key accountability tool and allows OCHA to assign an up-to-date rolling risk level to each partner. The PI considers a combination of the outcomes of the initial CA as well as the outcomes of the assessment of the partner’s performance in the implementation of CBPF-funded projects and GAs. 

The PO manages the CERF projects and portfolio at HQ-level and supports HFUs with proposal development and reporting. 

PSC are the indirect costs incurred by the Partner which cannot be traced unequivocally to specific activities, projects or programmes. 

PSEA is referring to the protection against sexual exploitation and abuse committed by aid workers, including humanitarian, development and peacebuilding actors against affected persons.
