Since 2013, UNDP co-hosts the IATI Secretariat as part of a consortium with Sweden, UNOPS, Ghana and Development Initiatives.

ANALYSIS

Achievements and progress
  • UNDP is the only organisation to score over 90% on the Index which it has now topped for two consecutive years improving on its 2014 score.
  • UNDP publishes all indicators to the IATI Registry and achieves high scores for the majority of them.
  • UNDP is the best performer at the organisation level on financial indicators and among the top five performers on organisation planning and all five subcategories of indicators at the activity level.
Challenges and room for improvement
  • There is some room for improvement for a number of activity- level indicators such as budget identifier, activity level budgets, evaluations and tenders.

RECOMMENDATIONS

  • UNDP should update its Information Disclosure Policy to reflect best practices on independent appeals processes.
  • UNDP should work to improve on evaluations and activity-level budgets in particular.
  • It should share best practice and help other UN agencies to publish in the IATI Standard. It should design a strategy for internal and external use of its data, in particular at country level.

Publish What You Fund completed an assessment of the quality of disclosure policies based on the overarching approach taken in the Expand...Global Right to Information Rating.
http://www.undp.org/content/undp/en/home/operations/transparency/information_disclosurepolicy/
UNDP's Information Disclosure Policy was significantly updated this year, specifically with regards to Section V, dealing with its Information Disclosure Oversight Expand...Panel. The composition of the panel is now such that UNDP no longer has a majority of its membership, or votes (see Section V.21), thereby significantly strengthening its independence. In addition, the two UNDP panel members are now required to be staff of UNDPs' Ethics Office and Office of Audit and Investigations. We believe these are significant changes that are more in line with international best practices, and would appreciate reassessment of the points given, taking these new measures into account. http://www.undp.org/content/undp/en/home/operations/transparency/information_disclosurepolicy.html
