UNDP procurement guidelines categorically prohibit the acceptance of any gifts and favours from vendors and partners by UNDP staff members.
UNDP staff will not accept any gift, honour, decoration, remuneration, favour or economic benefit from any source external to their organisation; this also includes Governments as well as commercial firms and other entities.
This prohibition on receiving gifts and favours extends beyond UNDP policy and is also embodied and institutionalised in the Code of Conduct established by the International Civil Service Commission of the United Nations. |
