Voice is committed to providing safe spaces filled with integrity and respect for ALL people as well as for financial resources. The consortium partners, Oxfam and Hivos, maintain a zero-tolerance policy to fraud and puts utmost importance on safeguarding. The organisational processes are invoked pending on the country where a potential integrity issue takes place. At the request of the Ministry, we have developed a webpage sharing our whistle-blower policy and explaining what happens when an issue is reported. This is obviously in addition to all the information that is available on the websites of Hivos and Oxfam. As Voice, we also have a reporting obligation to the Ministry directly. Considering our size, complexity and the (reasonable) risks Voice takes in its grant-making approach to serve the groups we stand for, it is inevitable that issues occur.

Also here, we take a learning approach and as much as possible, resulting in a strengthened due diligence, grant management, and monitoring processes. This same learning approach we also encourage among our partners, even encouraging them to be open about it without compromising personal safety and confidenti- ality There are currently a total of nine (open) integrity cases being dealt with by Voice. Of these, four have now been proposed to the Ministry to be closed upon their request. A fifth case will be proposed for closure in 2023. Two new cases were identified in 2022. Of these, one has already been reported on and closed after due action. One remains open.

Notes: Small discrepancies in overview are caused by rounding differences. In early 2019 a 0% VAT rate was approved for all costs outside of the Netherlands. This means that more funds are available for Voice.
