UNDP is the United Nations' global development network, an organization advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. We are on the ground in 177 countries, working with them on their own solutions to global and national development challenges. As they develop local capacity, they draw on the people of UNDP and our wide range of partners.
Organisations / agencies covered
This data covers 100 % of development flows at UNDP, including cost-sharing projects with partners.

Timeliness of Data
Initial set of IATI data in November 2011. Full IATI implementation after implementation of IPSAS in 2012. The accounting standard will be adopted in January of 2012 and there will be a stabilization process for much of 2012. IATI implementation will take a parallel path, with full implementation targeted for November 2012.
Frequency of publication
Annually for expenditure at the project level in the initial phase due to IPSAS introduction in 2011. Final annual expenditure data from the previous year will be published at the project level in 2011 and 2012. , so that data will be published generally six months after closure. Quarterly publication of provisional expenditure data at the project level will start in 2013 for the previous quarter.
Units of Aid
UNDP follows a multi-tiered results structure of project-outputs-activities. We will report at the Output level. A UNDP project can have several outputs, and each output can have multiple activities. Income and expenditure are tracked at the output level.
Segmentation of Published Data
Initially, data will be published in a single file. In future publications, UNDP will segment data by country of delivery. Some project level activities are delivered in more than one country and will be listed in multiple files.
