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:
“Communism is a proposition to structure the world more reasonably, a proposition for changing the world. As such, we have to analyze it and, if we deem it reasonable, act upon it.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“Just as a new scientific discovery manifests something that was already latent in the order of nature, and at the same time is logically related to the total structure of the existing science, so the new poem manifests something that was already latent in the order of words.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
“Each structure and institution here was so primitive that you could at once refer it to its source; but our buildings commonly suggest neither their origin nor their purpose.”
