Tool<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\nA description of key elements of a Code of Conduct (CoC). In combination with the WSI operating principles, you can use this outline to establish a CoC for your WSI.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Related Key Activities<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\nClarify expectations of WSI behavior, development of an MoU.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Questions Addressed<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\nHow do we set out expectations for proper behavior of WSI participants?<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Purpose<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\nOutline expectations for behavior of WSI participants, thereby ensuring integrity issues related to conduct are taken into account, and removing the possibility of ethically dubious decision-making or action that might undermine the WSI:<\/span><\/p>\n
    \n
  • Expectations for integrity and professional conduct are clarified.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Principles, values, and expectations are specified to guide conduct of WSI participants.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Possible Users<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\nWSI participants<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Level of Effort<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\nThe CoC should build on work completed in previous phases, therefore the CoC formalization should be a relatively simple, though significant preparatory work and can be completed in tandem with the development of an MoU and clarifying expectations of behavior.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
WSI Phase<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n2: Formalization.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A Code of Conduct (CoC) is a \u201cstatement of principles and values that establishes a set of expectations and standards \u2026, including minimal levels of compliance and disciplinary actions.\u201d Most countries have a general CoC for public officials as well as relevant legislation on conflicts of interest. Where relevant, the WSI should draw on relevant legislation in the development of the CoC. Developing a shared understanding of integrity in a specific WSI is an essential exercise in stakeholder collaboration that serves to build trust among actors, share experiences and good practices, identify shared values, and clarify expectations. As a central reference, a CoC guides WSI participants when dealing with ethical dilemmas and grey areas in decision-making and engagement processes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

Guidance for implementation<\/h3><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]The diagram below lays out the key steps to undertake to develop a CoC. To get hesitant individuals on board for the development of a CoC and build confidence in it, participatory integrity risk management exercises (see Tool 1b) can be helpful. In such a workshop, participants establish the most relevant measures that should be implemented to ensure they are adequately managed.<\/p>\n
