The security and safety of UNDP personnel is the highest priority in delivering UNDP's mandate around the world. Since 2004, UNDP has put in place an internal cost allocation mechanism to fund the corporate security costs. At its meeting on 3 March 2016, the OPG authorized the central recovery of security and insurance costs related to Individual Contractors (ICs), thus treating them in a similar way to other UNDP contract holders. As a result, effective 1 April 2016, the following security charges at the same level as the rates for staff, UNV and SC holders will be applied to the professiona ...
The security and safety of UNDP personnel is the highest priority in delivering UNDP's mandate around the world. Since 2004, UNDP has put in place an internal cost allocation mechanism to fund the corporate security costs.
At its meeting on 3 March 2016, the OPG authorized the central recovery of security and insurance costs related to Individual Contractors (ICs), thus treating them in a similar way to other UNDP contract holders. As a result, effective 1 April 2016, the following security charges at the same level as the rates for staff, UNV and SC holders will be applied to the professional fees of ICs (excluding payments for travel and/or Daily Subsistence Allowance):4.25% for duty stations H, A, B & C6.25% in duty stations D & E.The above percentages are based on the capital city's hardship classification for the hiring Unit, and will be recovered by HQs on a regular basis against the budget(s) used for the payment of the IC. Therefore, all offices must ensure when planning that these costs are included in their project budgets (refer to Annex I for detailed guidance).
