To ensure that we are all held to account the Biodiversity Challenge Funds concern reporting facility supports the reporting of possible illegal, unethical, or improper conduct when the normal channels (for example contacting NIRAS at BCF-IWTCF@niras.com) of communication have proven ineffective or difficult.
Please use this facility to report for example corruption, fraud, money laundering, aid diversion, human trafficking, slavery, safeguarding children and young people concerns, terrorism funding, and other violations related to Biodiversity Challenge Funds, our people, and programmes.
