4.  FUND STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT 

Introduction 

The structure of the Environmental Protection Fund is established within the framework of 

the Law for the Environment No. 4 of 1994, Articles 7 and 8 of its Executive Regulations, the 

Fund's Financial Regulations and the Operational Procedures endorsed by the Fund 

Management Committee. 

This section covers the structure of management for the Fund, including management relation 

to external parties to the Fund.  The Fund's internal and external structures are illustrated in 

Exhibits 1 and 2.  More detailed information on the administrative procedures is provided in 

the Administrative Procedures Manual.  

Internal Structure of the EPF 

The EPF consists of a Fund Manager, supported by a secretary and office assistant, and four 

functional departments with responsibilities executed by the Fund's professional staff.  The 

four functional departments include the FMC Secretariat, Projects Department, the 

Administrative/ Financial Department and the Communication, Policy and Revenue 

Enhancement Department.  Functional departments do not necessarily correspond to staff 

positions; one staff person may carry out responsibilities in one or more functional 

departments, particularly during EPF start up.  Detailed descriptions of staff member 

qualifications are provided in the Terms of Reference for Core Staff Members in Annex 3.
