The recent revision of the UNDP Security FoA policy was undertaken to align with UNSMS policy updates. Consistent with this, the revised policy introduced the role of the senior most UNDP representative at the security area level and incorporates the role of programme and project managers in supporting Resident Representatives to ensure security considerations are mainstreamed in planning processes.
