“All board members at each board meeting are required to declare any interest that may be in potential conflict with the interests of the organization. In addition, the board secretary reviews the resumes of all board members on a regular basis to see if there are any conflicts of interest. Any proposed transaction in which a board member has an actual or potential involvement, interest, or relationship must be approved by a majority of the members entitled to vote other than the interested member(s) at a meeting at which a quorum is present, even though the disinterested members may constitute less than a quorum. Such interested member(s), if present, may be counted solely for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.”

“All staff including the director general's (the "dg") compensation is revised based on annual performance reviews. The dg reports to the board and the board as a whole reviews his performance on an annual basis at the board's oct/nov board meeting. The process is as follows: 1. Dg prepares a report on his performance against the key performance goals and targets and send same to the board chair in advance of the board meeting. 2. The board chair reviews same and prepares a performance assessment report of the dg and presents to the full board. 3. The board discusses in closed session and reaches consensus on the dg's performance assessment. Thereafter, the board has a face-to-face discussion with the dg on his performance. 4. The board chair provides a brief report on the outcome of the dg's performance assessment and the agreed increments including bonus if any, to the board secretary for implementation. For rest of the staff (including directors, management team, officers, etc.) the respective line manager is responsible to evaluate the performance and the process is: 1) individual staff record in the performance review and development plan (pr&dp) their achievements based on predefined individual operating plans (iops) and send this to the relevant project leader/supervisor for comments. If a staff member is working on multiple projects, he/she should get inputs from multiple project leaders. 2) in addition to comments against the iops, project leaders/supervisors are required to comment on the staff member's strengths and areas of development. 3) following the project leader comments, all research staff are required to send the pr&dp to the relevant theme leader for his/her comments on the iops. 4) thereafter a one-to-one review discussion between the staff member and the supervisor takes place at which time the overall rating is mutually agreed and recorded. The overall rating is on a four point scale from 'excellent performance' to 'unsatisfactory performance and salary increments are tied to the overall rating. 5) if there are disagreements on the final rating, the staff member can escalate his pr&dp to his/her supervisor's line manager for decision. 6) promotions/reclassification recommendations, if any, are reviewed by an independent position review committee chaired by the ceo. In addition to the above, periodic salary surveys are conducted to ensure that iwmi salaries remain competitive. Where necessary, adjustments are made based on the survey outcomes.”
