February 07, 2020 - UNDP has changed its asset capitalization threshold from US $1,500 to US $5,000.

The change in policy should also result in a more effective verification and certification process. Clauses 1, 3, 5 and 21 of the policy has been updated to reflect the new asset capitalization threshold.
