Conflict of interest
Conflicts of interest are a normal part of CSA functioning. Individuals, institutions and coalitions are likely to have different and competing interests at the same time. Managing these is absolutely vital to enabling good governance. A clear policy and management process which everyone is aware of and puts into practice is important. The SUN Secretariat has produced a series of resources including a toolkit containing a suggested process for policy development on this topic which can be found here: http://scalingupnutrition.org/about/principles-of-engagement-2/preventing-and-managing-conflicts-of-interest.
The document includes appendices with a conflict of interest policy template, model declaration of conflict of interest form and a suggested conflict of interest management process.
