| Overview : Background Call for Expressions of Interest, UNDP Information Disclosure Oversight Panel. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the development programme of the United Nations system that is on the ground in about 170 countries and territories, with its headquarters in New York, USA. Since the first Information Disclosure Policy (the Policy) was approved in January 1997, UNDP has remained committed to making information about its programmes and operations available to the public. The Policy has been updated in the past years, and the last revision took place in July 2019. The Panel is composed of members, reflecting different sectors and independent to UNDP.
