RGF’s ethical values and vision

RGF aims to conduct its business with honesty and integrity and expects employees, volunteers, mentees, mentors, stakeholders (partners and sponsorship organisations) to maintain the highest ethical standards. RGF recognises the obligations it has towards the entire community.
RGF seeks to fulfill those obligations according to the original principles laid out in the Nolan Report on standards of behavior in public life. These principles are set out below and represent our core values:

Our 7 core principles guide everything we do. They apply to every mentee and mentor including strategic and development partners of the foundation.

Selflessness

Employees, volunteers, mentees, mentors, stakeholders (partners and sponsorship organisations) of RGF should take decisions solely in terms of the public interest. They should not do so to gain financial or other material benefits for themselves, their family, or their friends.

Objectivity

In carrying out public business, including making public appointments, awarding contracts, or recommending individuals for rewards and benefits, employees, volunteers, mentees, mentors, stakeholders (partners and sponsorship organisations) of RGF should make choices on merit.

Integrity

Employees, volunteers, mentees, mentors, stakeholders (partners and sponsorship organisations) of RGF should not place themselves under any financial or other obligation to outside individuals or organisations that might influence them in the performance of their official duties.

Leadership

Employees, volunteers, mentees, mentors, stakeholders (partners and sponsorship organisations) of RGF should promote and support these principles by leadership and example.

Openness

Employees, volunteers, mentees, mentors, stakeholders (partners and sponsorship organisations) of RGF should be as open as possible about all the decisions and actions that they take. They should give reasons for their decisions and restrict information only when the wider public interest clearly demands.

Accountability

Employees, volunteers, mentees, mentors, stakeholders (partners and sponsorship organisations) of RGF are ultimately accountable for their decisions and actions to the public and must submit themselves to whatever scrutiny is appropriate to their office.

Honesty

Employees, volunteers, mentees, mentors, stakeholders (partners and sponsorship organisations) of RGF have a duty to declare any private interests relating to their public duties and to take steps to resolve any conflicts arising in a way that protects the public interest. Any conflict must be notified in writing to RGF and updated as appropriate.

At RGF our goal is to work collaboratively with our various stakeholders to help some of Africa’s young and talented graduates fulfill their career aspirations including start-up aspirations and entrepreneurship.
