Summary of Changes

The new Portfolio Policy introduces a new delivery instrument for UNDP to contribute to one or more country programme outcomes and engage one or more implementing partners to address system level challenges for strategic development results. The policy defines the key principles and requirements for the design, approval, implementation, monitoring, reporting, and evaluation of UNDP portfolios.

The new policy is accompanied by the Portfolio Document Template, the Portfolio Document Guidance, and the mandatory annexes for the Portfolio Document Template: the Portfolio and Project Risk Register; the Portfolio Board Terms of Reference; On-Granting Provisions Applicable to a non-UNDP Implementing Partner; the Portfolio Multi-Year Workplan; and the Portfolio Theory of Change.

Danger Pay

Effective Date

Mar 15, 2024

Summary of Changes

The policy has been updated to remove references to actual amounts of danger pay, as these are periodically updated by the International Civil Service Commission (ICSC). The updated policy now refers to the ICSC website for current amounts, which were recently revised effective 1 January 2024. In addition, the policy update clarifies the eligibility for danger pay while telecommuting from a location outside the duty station (paragraph 5) and danger pay applicable to local staff on official duty travel outside the country of their duty station (paragraph 11).
