The objective of the ORCA tool is to help UNDP effectively manage risks across its Vertical Fund portfolio and perform its Quality Assurance (QA) function (as Accredited Entity to specific Funds). Accordingly, the tool has been designed to assess adequacy of current resources and/or provisions needed at the CO to effectively perform its ‘oversight responsibilities’ when deciding to take on additional programming requests related to VF projects. The ORCA assessment tool can be accessed through the CO dashboard in PIMS+ and detailed instructions on how to use and access the tool is provided in the User Guide and FAQ documents uploaded to under “Formulate Development Projects” in POPP.
