THE RULE OF LAW PROVIDES THE FOUNDATION FOR COMMUNITIES OF OPPORTUNITY AND EQUITY - COMMUNITIES THAT OFFER SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, ACCOUNTABLE GOVERNMENT, AND RESPECT FOR FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS.OUR WORK ENGAGES CITIZENS AND LEADERS ACROSS THE GLOBE AND FROM ALL WORK DISCIPLINES TO ADVANCE THE RULE OF LAW. THROUGH OUR THREE COMPLEMENTARY AND MUTUALLY REINFORCING PROGRAMS OF RESEARCH AND SCHOLARSHIP, THE WJP RULE OF LAW INDEX, AND ENGAGEMENT, WJP SEEKS TO INCREASE PUBLIC AWARENESS ABOUT THE FOUNDATIONAL IMPORTANCE OF THE RULE OF LAW, TO STIMULATE GOVERNMENT REFORMS, AND TO DEVELOP PRACTICAL PROGRAMS AT THE COMMUNITY LEVEL. 0 0 2052766 RULE OF LAW INDEX: THE WJP RULE OF LAW INDEX MEASURES HOW THE RULE OF LAW IS EXPERIENCED IN EVERYDAY LIFE AROUND THE GLOBE, BASED ON OVER 100,000 HOUSEHOLD AND 2,400 EXPERT SURVEYS WORLDWIDE. IT IS THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE INDEX OF ITS KIND AND THE ONLY TO RELY SOLELY ON PRIMARY DATA. ADHERENCE TO THE RULE OF LAW IS ASSESSED USING 47 INDICATORS ORGANIZED AROUND EIGHT THEMES: CONSTRAINTS ON GOVERNMENT POWERS, ABSENCE OF CORRUPTION, OPEN GOVERNMENT, FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS, ORDER AND SECURITY, REGULATORY ENFORCEMENT, CIVIL JUSTICE, AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE.THE WJP RULE OF LAW INDEX BUILDS ON YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT, INTENSIVE CONSULTATION AND VETTING WITH ACADEMICS, PRACTITIONERS, AND COMMUNITY LEADERS FROM OVER 100 COUNTRIES AND 17 PROFESSIONAL DISCIPLINES. THE INDEX IS INTENDED FOR A BROAD AUDIENCE OF POLICY MAKERS, CIVIL SOCIETY, PRACTITIONERS, ACADEMICS AND OTHERS. INDEX FINDINGS HAVE BEEN REFERENCED BY HEADS OF STATE, CHIEF JUSTICES, BUSINESS LEADERS, PUBLIC OFFICIALS, AND THE PRESS, INCLUDING CITES BY MORE THAN 500 MEDIA OUTLETS IN NEARLY 80 COUNTRIES. 2874117 296230 66066 ENGAGEMENT: ONE OF THE WAYS THE WJP ACHIEVES REFORMS IN RULE OF LAW IS THROUGH ON-THE-GROUND PROGRAMS CONDUCTED WITH LEADERS OF GOVERNMENT, BUSINESSES, CIVIL SOCIETY AND INDIVIDUALS ACROSS WORK DISCIPLINES IN COUNTRIES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. THE WJP'S ENGAGEMENT INITIATIVES CONVENE PARTNERS FROM ALL WORK DISCIPLINES TO BUILD A GLOBAL NETWORK, FIND COMMON GROUND, AND CREATE PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS THAT ADVANCE THE RULE OF LAW. ADDITIONALLY, THROUGH THE WORLD JUSTICE CHALLENGE, THE WJP PROVIDES SEED GRANTS TO SUPPORT THESE INNOVATIVE EFFORTS IN COMMUNITIES AROUND THE WORLD. ENGAGEMENT EVENTS INCLUDE THE WORLD JUSTICE FORUM AND REGIONAL MEETINGS AT WHICH PROMINENT LEADERS AND CHANGE AGENTS COME TOGETHER TO ADDRESS CRITICAL RULE OF LAW ISSUES. IN JULY 2013, THE WORLD JUSTICE FORUM V CONVENED 550 PARTICIPANTS FROM MORE THAN 100 COUNTRIES FOR THREE DAYS OF INTERACTIVE TOPICAL DISCUSSIONS AND WORKING SESSIONS THAT RESULTED IN DOZENS OF PROGRAM IDEAS TO STRENGTHEN THE RULE OF LAW IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. THE WJP ALSO CONVENED MEMBERS OF HIGH COURTS OF MORE THAN 30 COUNTRIES AT THE INAUGURAL HIGH COURT JUSTICES SYMPOSIUM, AND INITIATED THE RULE OF LAW SUMMIT, CONVENING EXECUTIVE LEADERS OF TOP ORGANIZATIONS AND NETWORKS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE THAT SHARE A COMMON GOAL TO ADVANCE THE RULE OF LAW. IN MALAWI, 40 STAKEHOLDERS FROM BUSINESS, GOVERNMENT, CIVIL SOCIETY AND ACADEMIA ATTENDED A TWO-DAY WJP COUNTRY SORTIE TO COLLABORATE ON PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS TO CURRENT RULE OF LAW CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES FACING THE COUNTRY, CULMINATING IN A RECOMMENDATIONS REPORT DELIVERED TO LEADERS IN GOVERNMENT.AS PART OF ITS ENGAGEMENT INITIATIVES, THE WJP DEVOTES A MODEST AMOUNT OF RESOURCES TO PROVIDE SEED GRANTS FOR SELECTED INNOVATORS TO TEST AND IMPLEMENT PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS TO STRENGTHEN THE RULE OF LAW. SINCE 2008, THE WJP HAS HELPED TO INCUBATE MORE THAN 250 MULTIDISCIPLINARY PROJECTS IN 20 COUNTRIES, AND HAS PROVIDED OVER $1,000,000 IN SEED GRANTS THROUGH ITS WORLD JUSTICE CHALLENGE. 22997 RESEARCH AND SCHOLARSHIP: THE WJP'S RESEARCH AND SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM CONDUCTS AND SUPPORTS RIGOROUS RESEARCH THAT EXAMINES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE RULE OF LAW AND VARIOUS ASPECTS OF ECONOMIC, POLITICAL, AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT. THE PROGRAM IS CURRENTLY PURSUING AN AMBITIOUS RESEARCH AGENDA, STUDYING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE RULE OF LAW IN VARIOUS DOMAINS OF SOCIAL LIFE, THE INTERDEPENDENCIES AMONG THE INSTITUTIONAL COMPONENTS OF THE RULE OF LAW, AND THE CAUSAL MECHANISMS BY WHICH THE RULE OF LAW AFFECTS ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL LIFE.THE CORE INITIATIVE OF THE PROGRAM IS THE RULE OF LAW RESEARCH CONSORTIUM (RLRC), A MULTIDISCIPLINARY COMMUNITY OF LEADING RESEARCHERS IN A VARIETY OF FIELDS-INCLUDING LAW, ECONOMICS, POLITICAL SCIENCE, SOCIOLOGY, INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS, AND ANTHROPOLOGY. THE CONSORTIUM IS HARNESSING DIVERSE METHODS AND TECHNIQUES TO PRODUCE RESEARCH ON THE RULE OF LAW, AS WELL AS RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW TO BEST STRENGTHEN IT. IT IS INTENDED TO BECOME A REPOSITORY OF THE BEST RESEARCH ON GOVERNANCE AND THE RULE OF LAW FOR SCHOLARS AND POLICYMAKERS, AND ALREADY FEATURES ACADEMICS FROM PREMIER INSTITUTIONS IN THE UNITED STATES AND ABROAD. 4949880 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 7 0 1 40 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X MARIA ROSALES 2024079312 740 15TH STREET NW 10TH FLOOR WASHINGTON DC 20005 WILLIAM H NEUKOM FOUNDER AND CEO 5.00 X X 0 0 0 WILLIAM C HUBBARD CHAIRMAN 2.00 X X 0 0 0 JAMES R SILKENAT VICE PRESIDENT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 SHEIKHA ABDULLA AL-MISNAD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 EMIL CONSTANTINESCU DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ASHRAF GHANI DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUET-FERN LEE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MONDLI MAKHANYA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ELLEN GRACIE NORTHFLEET DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JUAN CARLOS BOTERO EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 37.50 X 169827 0 7941 MARGARET A HALPIN CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER 37.50 X 122049 0 763 LAWRENCE B BAILEY TREASURER 2.00 X 0 0 0 GEROLD W LIBBY GENERAL COUNSEL & SECRETARY 5.00 X 12000 0 0 DEBORAH ENIX-ROSS VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUZANNE E GILBERT VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALEJANDRO PONCE-RODRIGUEZ CHIEF RESEARCHER OFFICER 37.50 X 121661 0 16190 NANCY WARD CHIEF ENGAGEMENT OFFICER 37.50 X 113727 0 6330 539264 0 31224 4 0 1 0 0 888666 629151 1517817 CONFERENCE INCOME 900099 66066 66066 66066 135 135 1584018 66066 0 135 X -6371 -6371 302601 302601 312580 94884 173254 44442 1152458 947986 167393 37079 91200 78237 8395 4568 117233 93507 17253 6473 12010 12010 25814 18201 6189 1424 1155544 1096034 59510 1910 220 410 1280 140862 100192 40045 625 67830 14854 52976 430642 331089 99553 1188081 1178686 5042 4353 690776 689707 902 167 25387 25387 11861 8090 3116 655 EQUIP.

BRIBE-HACKERS IS A PLATFORM DESIGNED TO CREATE A BRIDGE BETWEEN VICTIMS OF BRIBERY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES (SUCH AS TRAFFIC POLICE, PUBLIC UTILITY SERVICES, ETC.) BY CREATING A HOTLINE AND UNDERTAKING INQUIRIES INTO EACH BRIBERY REPORT. THE PROGRAM IS TARGETED TOWARDS INDIA'S YOUTH. 30000 SOUTH AMERICA IN BOGOTA, COLOMBIA, MANY CHILDREN GROW UP IN MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES WHERE WEAPONS AND DRUGS RULE THE STREETS, AND POVERTY AND LACK OF OPPORTUNITIES LEAD YOUTH TO CRIME. UNFORTUNATELY, MANY OF THESE SAME PROBLEMS EXIST IN THE CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS. THROUGH ART FORMS LIKE RAP, BREAKDANCE, AND GRAFFITI, YOUTH CAN EXPLORE TOPICS OF RELEVANCE TO THEM. THE OBJECTIVE IS TO PROVIDE A POSITIVE OUTLET FOR EXPRESSION AND LEARNING, AND TO HELP BREAK THE SOCIAL ISOLATION THAT MANY FORMER INCARCERATED YOUTH FACE WHEN COMING OUT OF PRISON. 23000 SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA MILLIONS OF ADULTS AND CHILDREN IN CAMEROON ARE DENIED ACCESS TO BASIC HEALTH SERVICES, INCLUDING PRENATAL CARE, TREATMENT FOR MALARIA, AND TREATMENT FOR HIV/AIDS BECAUSE OF GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION. THE CAMEROON HEALTHCARE ACCESS PROGRAM WILL TACKLE CORRUPTION BY EDUCATING CAMEROON'S HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS AND FORMING A NATIONAL HEALTHCARE ACCESS COALITION COMPOSED OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM GOVERNMENT, THE HEALTH SECTOR, AND WOMEN'S GROUPS. 25000 EAST ASIA AND THE PACIFIC MANY MIGRANT WORKERS RESIDING IN CHINA'S URBAN CITIES ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO EXPLOITATION BY EMPLOYERS AND SUBJECT TO HARSH, UNSAFE, AND ILLEGAL WORKING CONDITIONS. MANY ARE NOT PAID FOR THEIR WORK, NOR ARE THEY AWARE OF THEIR RIGHTS. THE CHINA MIGRANT JUSTICE PROJECT WILL BUILD A NETWORK OF LEGAL SERVICES AND WILL STRENGTHEN THE CAPACITY OF LOCAL NGOS IN BEIJING TO HELP MIGRANT WORKERS. THE PROGRAM WILL EXPAND LEGAL AWARENESS AMONG MIGRANT WORKERS AND CONNECT THEM WITH LEGAL AID COUNSELING FOR ISSUES SUCH AS OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY, ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE, AND ACCESS TO SAFE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING. 25000 SOUTH AMERICA IN FORTALEZA, THE CAPITAL CITY OF CEARA, THOUSANDS OF POOR FAMILIES ARE BEING THREATENED WITH EVICTION IN ORDER TO PREPARE THE CITY FOR EVENTS THAT WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE COMING YEARS - INCLUDING THE 2016 OLYMPIC GAMES. MANY FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES HAVE ALREADY HAD THEIR HOMES EXPROPRIATED WITHOUT ADEQUATE COMPENSATION. URUCUM WILL HELP COMMUNITIES DEFEND THEIR RIGHTS TO ADEQUATE HOUSING THROUGH A COMBINATION OF ART AND LEGAL EDUCATION. URUCUM WILL LEAD WORKSHOPS ON THE USE OF SILK SCREEN, THEATER, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND VIDEO TO ALLOW COMMUNITIES TO SHOW THEMSELVES FROM THEIR OWN PERSPECTIVE AND CREATE MORE VISIBILITY FOR HOUSING RIGHTS. 26101 SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA CHILDREN WITH LEARNING DIFFICULTIES IN GHANA'S PUBLIC SCHOOLS DO NOT RECEIVE ADEQUATE SUPPORT AND ARE AT HIGH RISK OF DROPPING OUT OF SCHOOL AND OFFENDING THE LAW. THE JUSTICE SYSTEM DOES NOT TYPICALLY CONSIDER THE ROLE THAT LEARNING DIFFICULTIES PLAY IN COMMITTING THE OFFENSE, WHICH CAN LEAD TO UNFAIR JUDGMENT FOR JUVENILE OFFENDERS. THE SPECIAL ATTENTION PROJECT WILL TRAIN JUVENILE JUSTICE PROFESSIONALS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF JUVENILE OFFENDERS WITH LEARNING DIFFICULTIES, COMPILE DETAILED DATA ABOUT CHILDREN WITH LEARNING DIFFICULTIES THAT ARE IN CONFLICT WITH THE LAW, AND USE THIS DATA TO RECOMMEND REFORMS. 25000 EAST ASIA AND THE PACIFIC CHINA'S RAPID DEVELOPMENT HAS LED TO HIGH LEVELS OF POLLUTION. WEALTHIER SEGMENTS OF SOCIETY ARE ABLE TO MOVE AWAY FROM POLLUTED AREAS, BUT POORER CITIZENS LACK THE RESOURCES TO MOVE, SEEK COMPENSATION IF THEIR LAND IS POLLUTED, OR PAY FOR HEALTHCARE TO MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF POLLUTION. PACIFIC ENVIRONMENT'S PROGRAM WILL PLACE LAWYERS-IN-TRAINING AT LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL NGOS TO STRENGTHEN THEIR CAPACITY TO HOLD GOVERNMENTS AND CORPORATIONS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH IMPACTS. THE PROGRAM WILL ALSO BUILD LONG-TERM MENTORING RELATIONSHIPS WITH UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW IN QINGTAO. 25000 EAST ASIA AND THE PACIFIC INHUMANE CONDITIONS IN DETENTION CENTERS AND PRISONS IN SOUTHERN THAILAND HAVE WORSENED WITH THE IMPOSITION OF SPECIAL SECURITY LAWS. THESE LAWS ALLOW LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE MILITARY TO TORTURE PRISONERS WITH IMPUNITY. IN ORDER TO PROTECT VICTIMS OF TORTURE AND PREVENT ANY FUTURE ILL TREATMENT IN DETENTION FACILITIES, THE CROSS-CULTURAL FOUNDATION (CCF) WILL HELP TRAIN AND SUPPORT LOCAL NGOS TO BECOME EFFECTIVE WATCHDOGS. THE CCF WILL PROVIDE TRAINING FOR PARALEGALS IN HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSE DETECTION AND FORENSIC KNOWLEDGE, AND EFFECTIVE MONITORING OF CONDITIONS IN DETENTION CENTERS. 28000 EAST ASIA AND THE PACIFIC DECADES OF MILITARY RULE HAVE SEVERELY DAMAGED THE INSTITUTIONS THAT ARE VITAL TO ENSURING PROTECTION OF THE RULE OF LAW IN MYANMAR. THE JUSTICE SYSTEM IS WIDELY CONSIDERED TO BE CORRUPT, EXPENSIVE, AND INEFFECTIVE. FOR EXAMPLE, DESPITE A CONSTITUTIONAL MANDATE THAT TRIALS BE HELD IN PUBLIC, VIRTUALLY ALL TRIALS ARE HELD IN SECRET. JUSTICE BASE WILL IMPLEMENT A TRIAL MONITORING PILOT PROJECT IN YANGON, WORKING CLOSELY WITH LOCAL LEGAL PROFESSIONALS. JUSTICE BASE WILL USE THE FINDINGS OF ITS COURTROOM OBSERVATION TO PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE MYANMAR GOVERNMENT AND JUDICIARY FOR REFORMS. 25000 SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA STREET LAW ZAMBIA (SLZ), A NEWLY-FOUNDED ORGANIZATION ASSOCIATED WITH STREET LAW, INC., CREATES PROGRAMS TO TEACH YOUTH ABOUT LAW, DEMOCRACY, AND HUMAN RIGHTS. SLZ'S PROGRAM IS ADAPTED TO ADDRESS ISSUES SPECIFIC TO ZAMBIA, INCLUDING POLICE BRUTALITY, POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY, CORRUPTION, GENDER BASED VIOLENCE, AND LEGAL EDUCATION DEFICIENCY. SLZ WILL CREATE AND IMPLEMENT ZAMBIA'S FIRST COMPLETE LEGAL EDUCATION TEXTBOOK AND CURRICULUM FOR YOUTH TO BE PILOTED IN ZAMBIAN SCHOOLS. THE CURRICULUM WILL FOCUS ON GENDER BASED VIOLENCE, POLICE BRUTALITY, AND RESPONSIBILITY. 18000 NORTH AMERICA WHILE TELEVISION AND FILMS HAVE TAUGHT US TO EXPECT LAW ENFORCEMENT TO PROCESS CRIME SCENES WITH THE UTMOST CARE, WHAT FEW OF US KNOW IS THAT THE MEMORY OF EYEWITNESSES AND SUSPECTS IS JUST AS FRAGILE AS THE PHYSICAL EVIDENCE IN THE CRIME SCENE. FURTHERMORE, TAMPERING WITH IT LEAVES FEW NOTICEABLE TRACES. THEREFORE, EYEWITNESS IDENTIFICATIONS AND CONFESSIONS SHOULD BE ELICITED CAREFULLY, IN ORDER TO AVOID MISIDENTIFICATIONS AND WRONGFUL IMPRISONMENT. LAWYERS WITH CAMERAS WILL SURVEY PRISONERS AND ACTORS IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM TO FIND OUT WHAT SAFEGUARDS ARE PUT IN PLACE DURING INTERROGATIONS OF DEFENDANTS AND EYEWITNESS IDENTIFICATION PROCEDURES. THE DATA GATHERED WILL INFORM RECOMMENDATIONS TO REDUCE THE RISK OF MISIDENTIFICATION. 20000 EUROPE KIVALINA, AN INDIGENOUS WHALING COMMUNITY SITUATED OFF THE NORTHWESTERN COAST OF ALASKA, IS UNDER THREAT FROM RISING SEA LEVELS. THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS ORDERED THE VILLAGE TO RELOCATE TO HIGHER GROUND WITHIN TEN YEARS, LEAVING THE COMMUNITY TO COVER THE MAJORITY OF THE COSTS. THE KIVALINA PROJECT AIMS TO CREATE A PHYSICAL MODEL OF THE CONTESTED TERRITORY AS AN EDUCATIONAL TOOL TO CREATE MORE INFORMED DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY, THE STATE OF ALASKA, FEDERAL GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES, AND OTHERS AS TO HOW CLIMATE CHANGE AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES POSE A THREAT TO CULTURAL PRESERVATION. THE PROJECT WILL MODEL WHAT A SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF THE ARCTIC MIGHT LOOK LIKE. 30000 12 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 PART I, LINE 2: THE WJP OFFERS SEED GRANTS, KNOWN AS OPPORTUNITY FUND GRANTS, TO ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE PARTICIPATED IN WJP SPONSORED REGIONAL MEETINGS AS DESCRIBED IN PART III OF THE FORM 990. OPPORTUNITY FUND PROJECTS ARE IDENTIFIED IN THEIR OBJECTIVES TO STRENGTHEN THE RULE OF LAW IN COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD THROUGH MULTIDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION. THE PROGRAM SEEKS TO BUILD A WORLDWIDE CONSTITUENCY OF STAKEHOLDERS COMMITTED TO TAKING ACTION TO STRENGTHEN THE RULE OF LAW. OPPORTUNITY FUND PROJECTS ARE EVALUATED INTERNALLY BY GRANTEES, PURSUANT TO THEIR REQUIRED GRANT REPORTS, AND EXTERNALLY BY WJP OPPORTUNITY STAFF, THROUGH REVIEW OF SUBMITTED REPORTS AND FIELD VISITS. EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS TAKE ACCOUNT OF BENCHMARK, INDICATORS, AND TIMETABLES OUTLINED IN PROJECT PROPOSALS AND REPORTED IN REPORTS AND VERBAL ASSESSMENTS. THESE INCLUDE: KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS, QUESTIONNAIRES, AND FOCUS GROUPS TO GENERATE COMMUNITY REACTIONS AND RECEPTIVENESS ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY FUND PROGRAM AND ITS IMPACT. WJP STAFF CONSULTS WITH EXTERNAL EXPERTS TO LEVERAGE THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF TOPICS SUCH AS HEALTH, ENVIRONMENT, EDUCATION, AND LABOR RIGHTS. FIELD VISITS ARE CONDUCTED AND USED AS IMPACT EVALUATION TOOLS TO DETERMINE WHICH ALTERNATIVES ARE MOST EFFECTIVE FOR ADVANCING THE RULE OF LAW IN THE PROJECT'S TARGETED COMMUNITY AND COUNTRY. THE SITE VISITS FACILITATE THE PROCESS OF IDENTIFYING MODELS FOR STRENGTHENING THE RULE OF LAW TO BE AVAILABLE FOR OTHER ORGANIZATIONS FOR REPLICATION. MONITORING AND EVALUATION OF OPPORTUNITY FUND PROJECTS ENABLE THE ORGANIZATION TO REVIEW PAST PROJECT PROGRESS; ASSESS THE ACHIEVEMENT OF DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES; AND DRAW LESSONS FOR IMPROVING THE DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT OF FUTURE ACTIVITIES.

THIS POLICY ESTABLISHES PROCEDURES FOR ADDRESSING A FINANCIAL INTEREST IF ONE IS REPORTED. FIRST, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS (EXCLUDING AN INTERESTED DIRECTOR WHO HAS REPORTED THE FINANCIAL INTEREST, IF ANY) DETERMINES IF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST ACTUALLY EXISTS. IF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST DOES EXIST, THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD APPOINTS A DISINTERESTED PERSON OR COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT IN QUESTION. THAT PERSON OR COMMITTEE DETERMINES WHETHER, WITH REASONABLE EFFORTS, THE WJP CAN OBTAIN A MORE ADVANTAGEOUS TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT. IF ONE IS NOT REASONABLY ATTAINABLE UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WOULD NOT GIVE RISE TO A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THE BOARD DETERMINES BY A MAJORITY VOTE SOLELY OF DISINTERESTED DIRECTORS WHETHER THE TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT IS IN THE WJP'S BEST INTEREST AND FOR ITS OWN BENEFIT, AND WHETHER THE TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT IS FAIR AND REASONABLE TO THE WJP. IN CONFORMITY WITH SUCH DETERMINATIONS, THE BOARD MAKES ITS DECISION BY MAJORITY VOTE SOLELY OF THE DISINTERESTED DIRECTORS WHETHER TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT IN QUESTION.
