GAVI Alliance Board members and staff must observe high standards of professional and personal ethics and are encouraged to make disclosures to help protect the organisation and donor assets entrusted to GAVI’s care. For these reasons, GAVI must maintain an environment where it can receive, retain, and address concerns and complaints. The purpose of this Whistleblower Policy is to provide a mechanism by which these concerns may be raised free of discrimination, retaliation, or harassment.

GAVI recognises its responsibility as a guardian of donor funds and works hard to minimise the possibility of their misuse. The Alliance strives to support recipient countries and partner organisations to reach and maintain a high standard of transparency and accountability.

The Access of Information Policy sets out the categories of documents that shall be made publicly available to external audiences through the GAVI website and other appropriate means of communication, to operate in a transparent and accountable manner. This policy was approved on 1 March 2012 by the Secretariat Executive Team.

The purpose of GAVI’s Evaluation Policy is to guide to its evaluation activities and the development of a multi-year evaluation plan. The policy is aligned with the norms and standards for evaluation approved by OECD/DAC.

The purpose of this policy is to protect the reputation and integrity of GAVI’s decision-making processes, particularly in regard to the allocation and disbursement of resources, by establishing procedures to identify, evaluate and address any real or potential conflicts that may arise from time to time. In addition to Board members, members of the Secretariat and others involved in decision-making processes on behalf of GAVI will be expected to abide by the provisions of this policy.
