“At the beginning of each board meeting, participants are asked if they have any conflicts of interest in any matter that is required to be disclosed. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of a committee considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he or she leaves the board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board or committee members decide if a conflict of interest exists. For staff, the conflict of interest policy is included in the organization's global code of conduct packet, which is shared with staff upon commencement of employment and signed acknowledgements are obtained from each new employee. Senior staff and other staff in sensitive positions (such as certain procurement staff and other key leaders) are required to sign an annual conflict of interest disclosure.”

“Evidence action's values are: - evidence first. We are led by the facts. We go where the data takes us. Robust, rigorous evidence informs our choices and decisions. - think big, act urgently. We are unrelenting in our pursuit of results at scale. We know that poverty does not wait. We act so that the best ideas deliver benefit to millions. - iterate, again. We reflect constantly and adapt accordingly. We test, measure, and improve to ensure impact. If we can do something, we can do it better. - economize without compromise. The biggest impact at the lowest cost is what we are after. We ensure value for money for all our stakeholders, but know there is no substitute for quality. - challenge convention. We ask "why and "why not" in equal measure. We are sincere in our skepticism and incessant in our search for solutions. - passion throughout. We are driven to lessen inequality, to improve lives. We take action, converting impatience into impact.”
