The conflicts of interest policy applies to employees, board members, consultants, and volunteers who, as part of their engagement with international medical corps, are responsible for conducting business fairly, impartially, and in full compliance with international medical corps' conflicts of interest policy. Staff members' dealings with outside parties are expected to be, and are, conducted according to the moral and ethical values and practices common to responsible corporations and non-governmental organizations and in the spirit of public accountability and transparency, in conformity with applicable laws, rules and regulations. Non-compliance with international medical corps' conflicts of interest policy is subject to discipline, up to and including termination of the individual's or entity's engagement with the organization. International medical corps maintains a dedicated email for any staff member to use at any time throughout the year to disclose conflicts, ask questions, and address concerns. International medical corps requires all staff members to disclose any actual, potential, or suspected conflict of interest at the point of their initial engagement with the organization (e.g., date of hire, contract/assignment start date) using our conflict of interest disclosure form, which is available in english, french, and arabic. Thereafter, international medical corps requires all staff members to submit an updated disclosure each december. In addition, international medical corps' staff members must, and do, disclose (potential) conflicts at any other time during the year as they become aware of the (potential) conflict. International medical corps has assigned a human resources specialist to ensure that each staff member (employee, board member, consultant, and volunteer) has completed their initial and annual disclosure. Conflict of interest disclosure forms are carefully reviewed by hr representatives. The assigned hr representative works with the staff member's supervisor and staff member and, where necessary, with the ethics & compliance department, to implement mitigating measures. Hr representatives coordinate closely with the ethics & compliance department in implementing the ongoing reviews and tracking of disclosures to ensure disclosures are completed, reviewed, and addressed.”

“Nutrition, food security and livelihoods; water, sanitation and hygiene; mental health and psychosocial support (mhpss): international medical corps' approach to lifesaving nutrition focuses both on how to prevent and how to treat malnutrition. International medical corps strengthens nutrition programs in some of the world's most challenging environments. Its prevention strategies focus primarily on adolescents, pregnant and lactating women, and children under two, and its curative strategies center on children under five and pregnant and lactating women. International medical corps' food security and livelihood programs help these families grow nutrient-rich foods and diversify their diets. International medical corps implements lifesaving water, sanitation and hygiene (wash) projects across a range of settings, including health facilities, communities and schools. With hundreds of thousands of deaths each year caused by unsafe drinking water, poor sanitation and insufficient hygiene practices, international medical corps prioritizes the prevention of wash-related diseases, focusing on providing and improving access to reliable, safe and clean water; providing and improving sanitation; and promoting safe hygiene practices. Because survivors of conflict and disaster are at higher risk for psychological distress and mental health conditions, international medical corps plays a leading role in the advancement of mental health services and systems in humanitarian settings. As one of the few international humanitarian organizations to prioritize prevention and treatment of mental health and psychosocial needs in humanitarian crises, international medical corps responds to immediate needs and-as communities recover and development begins-focuses on the longer term, helping strengthen mental health care.”
