TFV programmes are typically implemented through partners contracted by the TFV under the ICC's strict legal and procurement framework — local and international organisations whose knowledge, presence and standing in the communities concerned determine the quality and reach of every programme.

Who they are

Implementing partners are non-governmental organisations selected to deliver TFV-funded projects on the ground. They range from international organisations with long operational experience in a given country to national and community-based organisations rooted in the areas where victims live.

Foremost among them are organisations grounded in the affected communities themselves. Their proximity to victims, their understanding of local context, and the trust they hold are what allow a programme to reach the people it is meant to serve — and to do so safely, appropriately and with dignity.

How they are selected

Implementing partners are selected through a competitive process conducted under the ICC's legal and procurement framework, in accordance with the Financial Regulations and Rules of the International Criminal Court.

Once the Board of Directors decides to open a programme and its framework is set, the TFV launches an international competitive bidding procedure to identify both the projects to be undertaken and the locally based organisations — national or international — best placed to carry them out. Selection assesses each organisation's capacity, experience, presence in the affected area, and ability to deliver projects of genuine reparative value within the programme's framework and to the TFV's standards.

This competitive, rules-based process safeguards the integrity and accountability of the TFV's work and ensures that its resources are placed with the organisations best able to serve victims.
