This document summarizes the benchmarking study for the comparison of ADB’s current policy, strategy, and practices on addressing Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment (SEAH) in the safeguard frameworks and policies of selected peer multilateral development bank (MDBs). This study was undertaken as a desktop exercise and involved the review of key ADB, other MDBs, and third-party documentation, as well as other resources including United Nations agency materials, NGO reports, and research/academic studies.
