Whistleblowing & Complaints

Discover endless possibilities to join us in improving the lives of young people worldwide.
Any person who suspects or becomes aware of any illegal activity or instances of unethical behaviour, misconduct or wrongdoing by any person involved in any way with the S²Cities programme can bring this knowledge or suspicion to the attention of the programme partners.
You can notify the local implementing partner and/or the programme's global managing partner Global Infrastructure Basel Foundation (GIB).

How to report

You can report to the local implementing partner and/or to GIB. Depending on the particular situation and what feels appropriate, you can choose to inform either the local partner or GIB, or both the local partner and GIB.

To notify the local partner directly

Each local partner has its own established mechanism for handling reports. Refer to the contact details below and choose the appropriate contact for your location.
Note:
Notifying local partners may not allow for anonymous submission. Furthermore, GIB may not be notified or may not be notified immediately of complaints submitted to a local partner. GIB does not take responsibility for the handling or outcome of complaints submitted to partner organisations. If you believe your complaint needs to be brought to the attention of GIB, please inform GIB directly by following the instructions below.
