Main Views and Key Information

DOI is required for individuals who are expected to provide independent and objective input or advice to WHO, including:
- Members of Expert Advisory Panels, Expert Committees, Study Groups, and programme-specific advisory groups.
- Temporary Advisers, Peer Reviewers, and Consultants hired for technical or normative advice.
- Facilitators and faculty in training activities, if their independence is relied upon.
- Speakers at WHO-organized conferences, unless representing their organization.
DOI is not required for:
- Observers, representatives of Member States (as government officials), staff of Member State agencies, UN agencies, NGOs, companies, or interest groups, unless they are acting in a personal capacity or providing independent advice.
- Staff of WHO (Expert DOI Form not used for them; they use a dedicated Staff DOI form).
Special Cases:
- When meetings are jointly convened with other organizations, WHO is responsible for managing conflicts of interest unless the collaborating organization's policy is applied.
- For contractors (e.g., under APW), DOI is required if WHO relies on their independence and objectivity.
- For non-scientific or technical services, DOI is generally not required unless independence is a concern.
Guidelines:
- A DOI Form must be completed by the Principal Investigator or similar persons for staff involved in research.
- The use of DOI is conditional on WHO’s reliance on the individual's independence and objectivity.
- WHO staff are not required to complete the Expert DOI Form but may have annual DOI (Staff) requirements.

Conclusion

The Declaration of Interests (DOI) is a critical tool for ensuring transparency and integrity in WHO activities. It is required for experts and consultants who provide advice or input, but not for observers, government representatives, or non-independent staff. The decision to require a DOI depends on the nature of the activity and whether WHO relies on the individual's independence and objectivity.
