Standard Operating Procedures and Support
UNDP has established SOPs for responding to crises, and for mobilizing corporate support to countries facing extraordinary circumstances. These are updated on a regular basis and are currently being updated to ensure corporate mobilization for prevention contexts, and for ensuring sustained support to longer-term engagements in contexts of protracted fragility. Prioritization of countries in these categories is done jointly between Regional Bureaux and the Crisis Bureau on an Annual or as-needed basis.
