What is the UNDP Corporate Policy?
The UNDP corporate policy functions as a guideline for the completion of quality HDRs that serve as useful resources for public policy planners and national development advisers. The National HDR corporate policy outlines six main principles HDR teams should follow when working on a report. These principles include national ownership, participatory and inclusive preparation process, independence of analysis, quality of analysis, flexibility and creativity in presentation and sustained follow-up. Overall, the purpose of the National HDR corporate policy is to establish links between HDR analysis and UNDP/UN system operational work and to provide a solid platform for strengthening the position and impact of HDRs as effective applied policy instruments for human development.
