How we work

How the team works

  • Each area has a named person with tasks set out in a contract
  • Each person collects the data for their own part of a report, and a coordinator checks it
  • Anti-corruption, conflict of interest and child protection policies apply to the whole team
  • Outside experts join programmes under contract when our own team should not cover everything
