Codex Trust Fund
Fund Management
Fund operations are guided by an FAO/WHO Consultative Group for the Trust Fund consisting of senior FAO and WHO staff. Daily management of the Trust Fund and associated funding is implemented by WHO following normal WHO procedures, through its Department of Food Safety and Zoonoses and in close coordination with FAO, particularly regarding application review and capacity building activities. All activities are performed in a fully transparent manner, and close communication is maintained with all interested parties.
WHO is responsible for the management and administration of contributions to the Codex Trust Fund through its Voluntary Fund for Health Promotion. The FAO/WHO Project and Fund for Enhanced Participation in Codex has its own separate financial records and reporting. All contributions and expenditures are recorded separately, with individual donor acknowledgement, and reported on in the Financial Report and audited financial statements of WHO. The Trust Fund is subject to both internal and external audit procedures in accordance with WHO Financial Regulations and Rules.
