What to Report

Any person who has any knowledge of alleged misconduct, wrongdoing or mismanagement by any individuals working for or doing business with UNDP is urged to report such information to the Investigation Section, Office of Audit and Performance Review (OAPR). Allegations will be analyzed and, if appropriate, investigated to determine whether fraud or corruption has occurred. Such allegations may be made with attribution or anonymously. If you prefer to remain anonymous, the Investigation Section, OAPRR will still investigates your complaint and do its best to examine the allegations that you provide. Anonymous allegations are often more difficult to pursue and often do not fully address all of the complainant's concerns, but we respect your wish not to give your name.

UNDP Confidentiality Policy

UNDP encourages all of its callers and users of its Online Reporting System to provide their name and telephone number (or address) to enable us to reach you to obtain further information and to follow up on the report. If you choose to give us your name but want your name to remain confidential, UNDP will not reveal your name in any court or tribunal process and will not reveal any information that may disclose your identity to anyone outside the investigation team and its managers and attorneys unless UNDP determines you have made an intentional misrepresentation or omission, or UNDP is required to do so by law. If you agree to permit UNDP to use your name, please be assured that UNDP will not tolerate any form of retribution or retaliation against a person for reporting in good faith allegations of fraud or corruption.

The principal channel to receive allegations is the Investigation Section, OAPR. Allegations may also be made to the UNDP's Country Office Representative in each of its member countries. In such cases it is mandatory that all recipients of allegations transmit them within the following 72 hours to the Investigation Section, OAPR.

When reporting allegations, please provide as much information and detail as possible, because that will help to ascertain the truth in the investigation process. To the extent possible, all reports of fraud and corruption should include the following information:

What happened? Describe the events fully and using as much relevant detail as possible.

When did it happen? Dates, time, how many times, etc.

Where did it happen? Include not only the city and country, but, if possible, an actual address, the name of the building, the office number, etc.

Who do you think committed the corruption or fraud? Who else was implicated? Who else might have been involved?

How does your allegation relate to UNDP business? Was a UNDP employee implicated?

Note: In order to promote due process and to protect the reputation of all parties, it is important that, to the best of your ability, the information you provide be given in good faith, and that it be truthful, clear, and relevant.

The UNDP will do its utmost to protect whistleblowers by sanctioning any employee who takes reprisals against anyone who reports allegations of fraud and corruption to the UNDP. The UNDP will sanction any employee who deliberately makes a false accusation or intentionally provides false information.

The UNDP will also make full use of its authority to sanction whenever there is serious indication of a person or entity having filed an intentionally false allegation or having provided deliberately misleading information.
