# Accountability and care in the fund

Make funding understandable while protecting the people it supports.

The Global Statelessness Fund aims to combine responsible administration with respect for the agency and safety of people affected by statelessness.

## Clear use of funds

The public fund page records financial activity. Grant agreements and the programme’s reporting arrangements specify what additional information is required. Public updates help explain the work, but should never expose someone to avoidable harm.

## Proportionate checks

OCE checks the purpose of funding, supporting information and payment conditions. Read [why we ask for information](/oceurope/about-1/risk-and-compliance-aspects.md). Concerns affecting a grant should be explained through the appropriate review process.

## Safety and dignity

The [safeguarding policy](/oceurope/about-1/safeguarding-policy.md) applies to the people involved. Personal circumstances, identity documents and sensitive evidence should be handled privately.

## Learning with communities

The fund’s founding approach values participatory decisions, accompaniment and peer learning. Reporting should help people understand and improve the work. A future ambition to simplify reporting does not cancel the obligations of an existing grant.
