The Authorizing Official Business Travel policy has been amended to reflect the latest changes on amount limits for group travel. Group Travel Option: - For one-time workshop participants of 20 or more who are non-staff members that do not hold a Service Contract and when: For workshops that meet the standard outlined above it is not compulsory to process the travel through the T&E module of Atlas. Offices should seek bank cash delivery options where available. In the absence of a bank delivery option the Project Cash Advance arrangement can be followed. With the aim to reduce costs as well as the administrative burden, offices should treat group travel of 20 or more participants as a separate project and plan accordingly. The workshop planning should include the identification and contracting of the venue and negotiation of preferential rates, the cost savings of which will be passed on to UNDP. EXPAND
