Abstract
CGIAR Independent Advisory and Evaluation Service Conflict of Interest Policy
To fulfill its mandate, the CGIAR’s IAES and the two independent bodies it supports work with a wide range of partners inside and outside CGIAR. It is imperative that they are, and are seen to be, independent and objective.
The aim of this policy is therefore to promote a culture within the Service where conflicts of interest are properly identified and resolved or managed, in a transparent and timely manner, taking declared interests into account. No policy can account for every eventuality; it is the responsibility of all individuals working for and with the CGIAR IAES and bodies it supports to declare any unforeseen associations which could be perceived as a conflict.
The policy was last updated in June 2024, enhancing the specific statements of interest, aligning the policy to relevant public sector benchmarks and providing for digital submission of statements.
