The objective of this Policy is to establish the guidelines and mechanisms for appropriate management of the IICA information and communications technologies platform.

The purpose of this Policy is to establish the specific conduct and activities which are prohibited by IICA, the obligations of Covered Individuals and Counterparties to uphold the highest standards of integrity and to refrain from Prohibited Practices, and the actions which IICA may take when prohibited practices are alleged to have occurred in IICA-related Activities.

This manual establishes an institutional regulatory framework for the procurement of goods and services required by IICA, geared toward complying with the principles of transparency, prudent use of resources, objectivity in selection processes, competitiveness, sustainability, and accountability.

The purpose of the Code of Ethics is to provide all staff members with a guide to appropriate behaviors in the performance of our duties and decision-making. Its objective is to promote a culture based on lofty ethical principles that emphasizes the moral commitment to channel our everyday actions toward respect for our own rights and the rights of others, and toward good working relations that foster an environment that encourages trust and growth.

This policy is based on the concept of sustainable development (SD) and covers its social and environmental dimensions. In that context, it applies both to the internal activities required for the functioning of all the IICA offices and units in the Americas and Spain, as well as for managing the technical cooperation provided to its Member States, whether financed with its own resources or with external contributions. The policy is also applicable to the Institute’s procurement processes for resources and inputs, activities, products or deliverables, technical cooperation programs and projects and the management of the Institute’s buildings and facilities.
