FORUT encourages the reporting of any corrupt, illegal, unethical, wasteful or discriminatory activities that may have taken place in FORUT-supported projects.

The whistleblower’s identity is confidential.

Any misconduct should be exposed, and without delay. All such reporting will be handled confidentially. A whistleblower has the right to remain anonymous, and FORUT makes the commitment to preserve the anonymity of whistleblowers. Whistleblowers who identify themselves to us will receive confirmation that their report has been received. More importantly, if you give us your name and contact information it will help us to clarify matters as we then would be able to ask you follow-up questions. We hope you will do so, bearing in mind that completely anonymous reports are more difficult to get to the bottom of, and carry less weight.

How to report

If you suspect that any illegal, corrupt or unethical activities have taken place in projects supported by FORUT, please send us notification of this.
