Terms of Reference of the Ethics Officer

  • Based on the recommendation of the Board Leadership, the Board:
    1. Approves the Terms of Reference of the Ethics Officer, as set forth in Annex 1 to document GF/B33/ER08; and
    2. Notes that the Terms of Reference of the Ethics Officer supersede the Board’s earlier decisions regarding the reporting arrangement for the Ethics Officer (GF/B33/DP09)
  • Accordingly, the Board instructs the Secretariat to launch the recruitment process for the Ethics Officer, who will be jointly selected by the Audit and Ethics Committee (AEC) and the Executive Director, and appointed by the Board on a no-objection basis for a three-year term that may be renewed no more than once.
  • The Board requests the AEC and Finance and Operational Performance Committee to determine the future budgetary implications of this function as part of the standard Operating Expenses budget approval process, with particular consideration given to methods for maximizing value for money.
