A presumption of disclosure: the coalition publishes what it does, how it decides, and what its capital achieves — and gives anyone the right to ask for more.
The presumption of disclosure
Most institutions publish what flatters them and file the rest. The coalition inverts the default: information is public unless a narrow, published exception applies, and the burden of proof sits on withholding, not on releasing. This is not a communications policy — it is a governance control, because an institution that decides in public decides more carefully.
What we publish, proactively
Without being asked, the coalition publishes:
- Every commitment — amount, instrument, counterparty type, sector, and status
- Governing Council and Executive Board decisions and papers
- Audited financial statements and the Annual Report
- Independent evaluation findings, released in full and unedited
- Policies: safeguards, anti-corruption, procurement, and this disclosure policy itself
- The live data platform behind the coalition’s research
The exceptions — all of them
Withholding is permitted only where disclosure would cause specific harm, and every exception is itself published:
- Personal data protected by law
- Commercially confidential terms of counterparties, for a defined period
- Information that would endanger the safety of individuals
- Deliberations in progress — published once the decision is taken
Requesting information
Anyone — not only members — may request information not already published. Requests are acknowledged within five working days and answered within thirty. A refusal must cite the specific exception it relies on, and can be appealed to an independent panel whose ruling binds the Secretariat.
Independent verification
Transparency about results is only as good as the person counting. Evaluation at the coalition is structurally independent: the Independent Evaluation Panel reports to the Governing Council, above management; its work programme is its own; and its findings are published whole — including the failures.
Where the money is visible
Follow any dollar end to end: the commitments portfolio shows where capital is allocated; audited statements show how it is managed; the results framework shows what it changed; and the newsroom records every decision along the way. The chain is public by design.
What transparency costs — and buys
Disclosure has a price: slower announcements, harder conversations, visible mistakes. The coalition pays it deliberately, because the alternative costs more. Opacity is how institutions drift; publication is how they stay honest. Members join a coalition whose books they can read.
An institution that decides in public is one the public can trust with capital.
