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 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.

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).

Paragraph 17a of the policy has been updated to reflect that all signed MoUs should be stored in the UNITY agreements module which is UNDP’s central non-financial agreements repository and that all MoUs uploaded in UNITY are thereafter accessible by all UNDP personnel through BERA’s Non-Financial Agreements Library.
