How to report alleged wrongdoing in UNDP

As part of UNDP’s strategy to strengthen the accountability framework for the Organization and to provide opportunities for bringing to light any misconduct, wrongdoing or mismanagement by any individuals working for or doing business with UNDP, the Office of Audit and Investigations (OAI) has established an Investigations Hotline. This tool will allow OAI to investigate any allegations of violations of the United Nations Regulations and Staff Rules, acts of mismanagement, misconduct, waste, abuse of authority by staff and unlawful conduct, including harassment and retaliation, by personnel, persons or firms doing business with UNDP.

The hotline can be directly accessed worldwide in different ways:

  • By voicemail system at +1-212-906-5050;
  • By fax at +1-212-906-6767;
  • By e-mail at hotline@undp.org;
  • By an online referral form; or
  • By regular mail to:
    Director
    Office of Audit and Investigations,
    United Nations Development Programme
    One United Nations Plaza, DC1, 4th Floor
    New York, NY 10017 USA

Note: This Investigations Hotline is NOT intended for submissions of job applications, CVs, etc. Please refer to http://jobs.undp.org for appropriate application procedures and available vacancies.

UNDP takes all reports of alleged wrongdoing very seriously. The principal channel to receive allegations is the Investigations Section, OAI.

Calls and e-mails received are not traced and people reporting wrongdoing to the Investigations Hotline have the option to leave relevant contact information or remain anonymous. However, for people reporting allegations of harassment, anonymity is not allowed: they must provide full contact details.

When reporting to the Investigations Hotline, people are encouraged to be as specific as possible, including the basic details of who, what, where, when and how any of these incidents occurred. This will allow OAI to properly investigate the alleged wrongdoing.

UNDP will do its utmost to protect whistleblowers by sanctioning any personnel taking reprisals against anyone who reports allegations of wrongdoing to OAI. UNDP will sanction any personnel who deliberately make a false accusation or intentionally provide false information.
