The World Health Organization is struggling with efforts to hire inspectors to investigate sexual exploitation and abuse in its programming, according to an agency official. Following allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse that emerged from WHO’s response to the 2018 Ebola outbreak in Democratic Republic of Congo, the agency has made reform efforts. As part of this reform, WHO is willing to secure a “critical mass of inspectors” to investigate acts of exploitation and abuse, and they should be placed first, in Afghanistan, DRC, Ethiopia, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Venezuela, and Yemen.

While it has started efforts to fill these positions, WHO has found it difficult to identify candidates who fit what Fall describes as the “very rare” job profile it is seeking.
