INTEGRITY

AIIB is committed to the highest standards of integrity in its operations.

In support of this, AIIB’s Board of Directors approved the Policy on Prohibited Practices (PPP) in 2016. The PPP defines the seven Prohibited Practices in AIIB-funded projects and activities, namely: Coercion, Collusion, Corruption, Fraud, Misuse of Resources, Obstruction and Theft. The PPP articulates the process through which AIIB may investigate and sanction parties that violate the PPP. It also established AIIB’s two-tier Sanctions System comprised of a Sanctions Officer and the Sanctions Panel.

In addition to the PPP, the Complaints-resolution, Evaluation and Integrity Unit (CEIU) was established as an independent unit within AIIB and is part of AIIB’s Oversight Mechanism created by its Board of Directors under Article 26(iv) of the AIIB Articles of Agreement.

Under its Integrity function, CEIU carries out AIIB’s anti-fraud and corruption work in accordance with PPP. This includes: (i) conducting investigations into allegations of Prohibited Practices in AIIB-funded projects and activities, (ii) compiling lessons learned from investigations and sharing these with relevant departments as inputs to process improvements and preventive measures in AIIB operations, (iii) conducting training on the PPP and other integrity and anti-corruption topics and (iv) cooperating with the integrity functions of other multilateral development banks and organizations on integrity-related matters.

If you suspect Prohibited Practices in an AIIB project, contract or activity and/or involving our staff, consultants and contractors, please submit a report to CEIU by completing the form below.
