Sensitivity Levels

All communications about Feba projects are assigned a Sensitivity Level by our Information & Communications department, in consultation with project managers.  In Feba blogs, projects rated as low or moderate will be viewable by anyone once the pages are made public. Projects rated as high or extreme will require a user to be registered and need a password to view the pages.

0 Low

- projects in these countries can generally be reported openly 

1 Moderate

 - Feba’s work may generally be reported openly, some projects need political or religious sensitivity; pseudonyms often used.

2 High

 - Feba’s work treated with utmost sensitivity to security; staff and partners referred to by pseudonym; projects carefully described.

3 Extreme

- Feba’s work in these projects never mentioned in any publication, newsletter, website, blog etc; pseudonyms only.
