In addition, all prospective partners must be organizations with a reputation for integrity and the highest standard of conduct, and a proven track record in their particular areas of expertise. They should be able to demonstrate a respect for human rights, gender sensitivity, integration of people with disabilities and other vulnerable groups, decent work conditions, environmental protection, and community involvement in their operational practices.
