Introduction
At CEF, we are committed to creating meaningful impact through partnerships while upholding the highest standards of integrity. Our Partnership Process and Conflict of Interest Policy are a public commitment to transparency, accountability, and ethical practice.
1. Our Partnership Process: Building Relationships That Empower
Our partnership process ensures that every collaboration is strategic, values-driven, and thoroughly evaluated. Every proposal undergoes internal review and must be approved by our Board of Directors before moving forward. This reinforces our commitment to accountability and good governance.
2. Our Conflict of Interest Policy: Putting Integrity First
Integrity is the backbone of ethical leadership. Our Conflict of Interest Policy ensures that all members of our organisation—from board members to volunteers—act in CEF’s best interests at all times. We understand that conflicts are sometimes unavoidable, but they must be declared, recorded, and managed transparently. All disclosures are recorded in our official Register of Interests, and we have clear procedures for managing them.
Why These Policies Matter
These policies don’t just protect the Foundation—they build trust with our partners, donors, and the communities we serve. By being transparent about how we form partnerships and manage ethical risks, we demonstrate our commitment to responsible leadership and ensure our actions speak as powerfully as our mission.
