The OSS is committed to ensuring that its projects/programs or activities are implemented in accordance with its environmental, social and gender obligations. Despite all the measures taken by the OSS to avoid and minimize environmental and social risks related to its projects / programs or activities, these could harm people or the environment. In order to mitigate these eventual situations, OSS has put in place a grievance mechanism.
