Structure
In order to avoid mismanagement and corruption that has plagued many other Pacific trust funds, the government established a management structure that includes:
- Board of Directors, with each appointed by an original donor
- Professional fund management
- International, external auditors
- Advisory committee (each original donor has a member on the committee)
One important element of the fund in order to avoid overdrawing to fund unauthorised projects, is the "separation of fund capital from fund proceeds available for distribution."

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“Women over fifty already form one of the largest groups in the population structure of the western world. As long as they like themselves, they will not be an oppressed minority. In order to like themselves they must reject trivialization by others of who and what they are. A grown woman should not have to masquerade as a girl in order to remain in the land of the living.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“Slumism is the pent-up anger of people living on the outside of affluence. Slumism is decay of structure and deterioration of the human spirit. Slumism is a virus which spreads through the body politic. As other “isms,” it breeds disorder and demagoguery and hate.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
