Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests - Implications for IFAD
Following an inclusive consultation and negotiation process, which involved more than 70 countries, international organizations, and representatives of the civil society and the private sector, the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGs) were officially endorsed by the Committee on World Food Security on 11 May 2012. The VGs set out principles, technical recommendations and practices for improving the governance of tenure of land, fisheries and forests. They promote secure tenure rights and equitable access to these resources as a means of eradicating hunger and poverty, supporting sustainable development and protecting the environment. They give recommendations to countries and to other key actors, who are strongly encouraged to adopt and use them on a voluntary basis.

Rapport annuel 2013 sur les activités d’enquête et de lutte contre la corruption
Le Bureau de l’audit et de la surveillance (AUO) et sa Section des enquêtes ont pour mandat de mener des enquêtes sur les allégations de pratiques irrégulières en relation avec les activités et opérations du FIDA. Ce mandat trouve son origine dans la charte d'AUO, le règlement des ressources humaines et le Code de conduite ainsi que la Politique du FIDA en matière de prévention de la fraude et de la corruption dans le cadre de ses activités et opérations. Grâce aux activités d'enquête et de lutte contre la corruption, le FIDA veille à ce que les fonds destinés au développement parviennent bien aux destinataires de la manière la plus efficiente, efficace et transparente possible et que le personnel du Fonds respecte les normes d’éthique et d’intégrité fixées par le FIDA. Le nombre de nouvelles plaintes reçues par AUO en 2013 est légèrement plus élevé par rapport à 2012 (39 en 2013 contre 33 en 2012), du fait de l’accroissement du nombre d’allégations externes de fraude, en particulier dans le domaine des passations de marchés, ainsi que du nombre d’affaires liées au personnel. En 2013, AUO a clôturé avec succès 41 cas, dont plusieurs enquêtes complexes, et des mesures ou sanctions disciplinaires ont été appliquées dans six cas: 5 internes et un externe.
