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:
“Just as a new scientific discovery manifests something that was already latent in the order of nature, and at the same time is logically related to the total structure of the existing science, so the new poem manifests something that was already latent in the order of words.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
“With sixty staring me in the face, I have developed inflammation of the sentence structure and definite hardening of the paragraphs.”
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
“Slumism is the pent-up anger of people living on the outside of affluence. Slumism is decay of structure and deterioration of the human spirit. Slumism is a virus which spreads through the body politic. As other “isms,” it breeds disorder and demagoguery and hate.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
