Working with Us

Collaboration with the Forum leads to regional networks, the Private Sector Advisory Group (PSAG), and global corporate governance research.

• The Forum has developed strong regional networks of experts and institutions which actively contribute to disseminating and exchanging best practices. This includes regulators, professional institutions, and business leaders.
• PSAG comprises more than 75 public and private sector leaders, who dedicate their time and expertise to businesses and governments around the globe that are pro-actively reforming their corporate sector.
• Global corporate governance research promotes international exchange among scholars through organizing seminars and the sharing of analyses and research.

In addition, co-funding of relevant corporate governance projects may be considered, as described below.

Eligibility for funding

The Forum will consider proposals for projects or activities that contribute to implementing corporate governance reform in low and middle income countries. On an annual basis the Forum funds projects that fit our overall strategy and provide leverage and clear outputs in advancing corporate governance reform. Applications will be considered according to specific selection criteria, among which: consistency, complementarity, added value, relevance, cost efficiency, quality insurance, clear policy implementation prospects.

Proposals for the Forum's support can originate from any source, as long as the requested support is intended to improve corporate governance in low or middle income countries. Priorities are however given to regional and global proposals. Our limited funding requires that we be very selective with the projects in which we get involved and which is targeted to deepening corporate governance at a local level with measurable, tangible evaluation indicators.

How long does the process take?

For small proposals (GCGF support of $50,000 or less), applications are evaluated by the Forum’s Secretariat in the order that they are received. The Task Manager/Projects Officer will aim to notify candidates of the outcome of the evaluation within two weeks of submission.

For medium and large proposals (GCGF support of over $50,000), applications are submitted to the Steering Committee members for approval. The Task Manager/Projects Officer will aim to notify candidates of the outcome of the evaluation within six weeks of the submission.
The Forum is now under a transitional period of moving from its Phase II to its Phase III. The Forum's new strategy of moving to a full global knowledge management network for Phase III is being formed. Given the current level of work focusing on developing the new strategy and preparing the transition between Phase II and Phase III, the responsiveness to requests or project proposals will not be immediate.
