Anti-Corruption Policy 

GRP has a zero-tolerance policy against corruption and fraud. GRP NPC has an anti-bribery and anti-corruption policy, and a whistleblower policy in place. GRP at SRC follows Stockholm University’s guidelines on anti-corruption and guidelines for preventing bribes.

All GRP staff across the entities have to confirm in writing that they have read and understood these policies. GRP regularly offers training on anti-corruption. All staff and consultants must disclose any potential conflicts of interest that may compromise their ability to act in the best interest of GRP. GRP staff will continuously work to prevent corruption in all its forms. GRP reviews the need for training on anti-corruption and internal management and control on an annual basis.

Screening against EU Sanctions 

GRP has a standardised method for screening all Implementing Partners against the EU sanction lists. The banks in South Africa are legally required to screen for sanctions before releasing any payments, the legislation governing this includes the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA), POCA, and POCDATARA. Stockholm University’s bank also screens all payments against the United Nations’, the European Union’s, the United Kingdom’s and Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC8) sanctions lists.
