Report on the activities of the Independent Integrity Unit

The Independent Integrity Unit (IIU) report for early 2022 details the management of integrity cases, the launch of a new Case Management System and online reporting platform, and the operationalization of Investigation Standards. The IIU opened five new cases during the reporting period and provided nine policy advisories. Key activities include developing an Integrity Risk Rating Tool, negotiating Memoranda of Understanding with 32 Accredited Entities, and collaborating with the World Bank's Integrity Vice Presidency. The unit also launched mandatory SEAH training for GCF personnel and is developing a Good Practice Guide for integrity in climate-financed projects.

• During the reporting period from 24 February to 15 April 2022, the IIU opened five new cases, consisting of two project-related cases and three cases of staff misconduct.
• The IIU implemented new operational tools in 2022, including a Case Management System (CMS) for recording complaints and an integrated online reporting platform featuring a secure 24/7 multilingual hotline.
• The IIU is working to strengthen the capacity of Accredited Entities, which includes facilitating negotiations on Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with 32 such entities.
• To mitigate risks in GCF-funded projects, the IIU is developing an Integrity Risk Rating Tool designed to objectively rank projects based on their propensity for integrity violations.
• The IIU provided nine advisories during the reporting period regarding the application of integrity policies, specifically covering conflicts of interest for Board members and officials, integrity safeguards in contracts, and the GCF Integrity Policy Framework.
• The IIU collaborated with the Secretariat to launch a mandatory online training course in February 2022 for all GCF personnel on the prevention and protection from sexual exploitation, sexual abuse, and sexual harassment (SEAH).
• The IIU is developing a cross-sectoral Good Practice Guide to document international anti-corruption best practices for climate-financed projects, benchmarking GCF against other international financial institutions.
