Policy on Due Diligence and Partnerships with the Private Sector

Effective Date

Oct 12, 2023

Summary of Changes

This policy revision, approved by OPG in late August 2023, underlines a robust and decentralized approach to risk assessment, decision making, management and escalation, based on the risk levels, aligning with UNDP's Enterprise Risk Management policy and framework. All business units at HQ, Regional and CO levels, are now required to appoint PSDD focal points and establish PSDD committees to advise, quality assure and extend technical support and oversight on the application of the policy and quality of the risk assessment undertaken.  

The policy now offers four (instead of two) risk levels - Low, Moderate, Substantial and High, with updated due diligence requirements - Basic, Standard and Enhanced determined by the type of legal agreement, and the type of private sector entity. The policy also includes monitoring protocols, spot checks of the due diligence process as well as the inclusion of Anti Money Laundering/Countering Financing of Terrorism Self Certification in the Risk Assessment Tool (RAT).
