Take actionTraining and capacity building Encourage business partners to carry out comprehensive preparatory training for volunteers, both related to the assigned project but also about local customs in their destination countries. Impact assessment Consult local stakeholders and potentially affected rights holders to perform an in-depth human rights impact assessment on potential/actual human rights issues related to the volunteering activity. Responsible product development Prior to developing new volunteering offers, carefully carry out due diligence in terms of the partner organisation/s on the ground. Only offer specific assignments that are based on the needs articulated by the local community (e.g. specific expertise requested by the local population) and which do not compete with the local job market. Enable transfer of knowledge and expertise to empower the local community. Find more information on potential measures to take on the "take action" site. Take action
