The Section is also tasked with investigating allegations of certain types of wrongdoing by third parties, such as sexual exploitation and abuse and serious child safeguarding violations as well as fraud and corruption, committed to the detriment of UNICEF.
OIAI conducts investigations in accordance with the International Uniform Principles and Guidelines for Investigations adopted at the 10th Conference of International Investigators and the OIAI Investigations Manual. The OIAI Investigations Section comprises three teams across three geographic locations: the Investigations Unit, which has members based in New York, Budapest and Nairobi; a dedicated Fraud Team based in New York; and the Strategy, Intake and Analysis (SIA) Unit based in New York. The Investigations Unit handles cases predicated for investigation and certain complex and/or high-priority assessments. The Fraud team is dedicated to handling fraud and corruption matters implicating UNICEF personnel as well as third parties. The SIA Unit handles intake and initial assessments of new matters; policy, strategic and donor-related initiatives; and quality assurance reviews of investigation and other reports.
