Striving for excellence in the work we do and strengthening performance of staff is key for UNDP. The PMD process aims to build a strong high-performance culture where individual staff members, managers and teams take responsibility for the achievement of UNDP’s vision and attainment of its results in the most effective and efficient way. The PMD policy applies to all staff members holding Permanent (PA), Fixed term (FTA) and Temporary Appointments (TA). The relevant guidance is available on the Performance Management and Development (PMD) site.

For regular PSA holders, a full- service evaluation report must be completed, using the online PMD platform for any service period exceeding six months worked during that evaluation year

For short-term PSAs, or for periods of service of less than six months, only section I of the IPSA Performance Evaluation form or An NPSA Service Evaluation is to be completed and should be documented as a note to file.
