How will conflicts of interest be avoided?
Partner entities will not participate in decision-making concerning the allocation of HRF funds so as to avoid any potential conflict of interest. The World Bank has created institutional firewalls between its roles as Trustee, Partner Entity and host of the HRF Secretariat. The UN has created a similar firewall between its Partner Entity (UNDG) and one of its possible implementing entities (UNDP). All partner entities apply internationally-accepted personnel and procurement procedures to avoid other conflict-of-interest risks.
