This chapter has taken us through a comprehensive journey of using foresight methods to strengthen the Programme and Risk Management section of the CPD. By embedding tools such as Anti-Visioning, Risk Mapping, and Windtunnelling, we have laid the foundation for creating resilient, forward-looking programmes that are prepared to navigate an uncertain future.

Looking Ahead

With a clear understanding of the potential risks and a well-thought-out strategy to manage them, we now transition to the next chapter of the CPD toolkit: Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL).

This chapter will focus on embedding foresight into MEL frameworks to ensure that the CPD remains adaptable and responsive to emerging changes throughout its lifecycle. Together, these efforts will ensure that UNDP continues to deliver on its mission of sustainable development in an ever-changing world.
