​The policy has been updated to reflect the following: Updates to Annex 2 examples of information in the exception list, updates to URLs of linked documents and the shift from the United National Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) to the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF).

UNDP updated the Information Disclosure Policy (IDP) in July 2019. Key proposed changes include the following; Amendment to the number of the Information Disclosure Oversight Panel from five to three, as well as its composition to ensure that a majority of the members are external to UN. The new composition would be two representatives from non-governmental organizations and/or foundations and one from the UN or UN agency. A competitive selection process to appoint panel members.

The policy was updated to reflect best practice in the review and appeal process relating to information disclosure. The new provisions are intended to ensure independence of the Information Disclosure Panel in its decision making on contested disclosures.

​The Information Disclosure Policy now includes requirements for “robust reasoning” to exclude information from the public domain. Amendments have been benchmarked against international best practice.
