PSEA Terms of Reference

The Generic TORs harmonise and systematise the role of PSEA actors in country, while allowing for the terms of reference to be adapted to context according to the leadership structure, practical needs and realities on the ground, and PSEA developments already in place. They can be used to create or strengthen existing terms of reference.
