Tuvalu Trust Fund - Structure

Structure

In order to avoid mismanagement and corruption that has plagued many other Pacific trust funds, the government established a management structure that includes:

  • Board of Directors, with each appointed by an original donor
  • Professional fund management
  • International, external auditors
  • Advisory committee (each original donor has a member on the committee)

One important element of the fund in order to avoid overdrawing to fund unauthorised projects, is the "separation of fund capital from fund proceeds available for distribution."

Famous quotes containing the word structure:

    A special feature of the structure of our book is the monstrous but perfectly organic part that eavesdropping plays in it.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    Vashtar: So it’s finished. A structure to house one man and the greatest treasure of all time.
    Senta: And a structure that will last for all time.
    Vashtar: Only history will tell that.
    Senta: Sire, will he not be remembered?
    Vashtar: Yes, he’ll be remembered. The pyramid’ll keep his memory alive. In that he built better than he knew.
    William Faulkner (1897–1962)

    If rightly made, a boat would be a sort of amphibious animal, a creature of two elements, related by one half its structure to some swift and shapely fish, and by the other to some strong-winged and graceful bird.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
