Roles and responsibilities are clarified for all those involved in UNDP’s Crisis Board and Crisis Management Support Team (CMST).
A specific timeline (6 months) has been established to close the phase of corporate support to a crisis response from the UNDP’s Crisis Bureau’s side.
An overview of the Crisis Response and Recovery Process has been added as an annex.
Communication, partner engagement and resource mobilization sections have been revised and key communication actions and messages were added as annex.
Operations sections have been reviewed and aligned with recent organizational changes, and additional measures to fast-track implementation have been added.

The Supplementary Protocols for Crisis Contexts complement the updated SOPs for Immediate Crisis Response to address crisis more holistically at an organizational level and are published as a related policy. The Supplementary Protocols were developed through distilling lessons from 17 UNDP priority countries over the past 18 months, guiding UNDP’s response in Anticipate & Prevent settings and in Fragile & Protracted contexts. The protocols are fully aligned with UNDP’s Enterprise Risk Management policy.
