Summary of Changes
The policy has been updated to reflect the following changes:
- The term ‘SFP’ (Security Focal Point) has been updated to ’ACSFP’ (Agency Country Security Focal Point) which is the accurate term for country-specific roles, as the term ‘SFP’ refers to the Director of the Security Office (SO).
- In paragraph 36 - a footnote has been eliminated to align with the requirements of the UNSMS (United Nations Security Management System) and of the UNDP Framework of Accountability for Security that assign day-to-day oversight of security to the ACSFP in the absence of a security professional. The elimination of this footnote also aligns with best practices in crisis management and accountability requirements when there are both a security professional and an ACSFP in a duty station.
- The role ‘LSA’ (Local Security Associate) has been removed from the framework as those posts have been migrated to Country Office Security Associate (COSA) level positions.
The UNDP Security Framework of Accountability (FoA) Explainer is also updated to align with the updated policy and is now available in French and in Spanish. The Framework of Accountability for Security procedure is now available in French and in Spanish.
