Within the Targeting Assurance Framework (TAF), undue influence is defined as any improper or unethical attempt by individuals, groups, or organizations to manipulate or interfere with key targeting processes, including the identification and selection of beneficiaries and the determination of eligibility criteria or targeting methodologies.
Such interference compromises impartiality and transparency and poses a direct challenge to humanitarian principles. The Targeting Assurance Framework positions the management of undue influence as an essential component of impartial, evidence-based, and people-centred assistance under the TAF Benchmark #15.
