Preventing Fraud and Corruption and Sexual Exploitation and Abuse in Special Programme projects

As a reminder of the Secretariat's own fiduciary responsibilities to UNEP and to the Special Programme donors, given our oversight of Special Programme country projects and the Trust Fund as a whole, this workshop helps our implementing partners understand UNEP's approach to preventing fraud and corruption in its operations, in particular in partnerships such as the Special Programme projects.
