Summary of Changes

The improved design of UNDP’s Implementation Tool for the UN Human Rights Due Diligence Policy is now available in the POPP. The tool consists of a guidance document and a risk assessment form, making it easier for use by country offices and offering the following enhancements: 

  • The tool is user-friendly in a designed format with improved graphics;
  • Clearer distinctions on the key process steps and a few additional definitions are included;
  • The risk assessment form is now editable, so risk assessment can be completed in the document itself. A tabulation feature is also included whereby inserting the risk assessment scoring, the final tally will automatically tabulate. 

These design changes in the tool will make the implementation of the Human Rights Due Diligence Policy on United Nations support to non-United Nations Security Forces (HRDDP) and use of the tool easier for country offices. 

The guidance document and the risk assessment form are published in Step 3.3 ALT of the Formulate Development Projects procedure of the Formulate Programmes and Projects policy page

The risk assessment form is published in Step 3.3 ALT of the Formulate Development Projects procedure of the Formulate Programmes and Projects policy page.

The guidance document and the risk assessment form constitute together UNDP's Implementation Tool for the Human Rights Due Diligence Policy on United Nations support to non-United Nations Security Forces (HRDDP).
