MI 1.3 Analysis
Source document
UNRWA aligns its work with wider normative frameworks such as Agenda 2030 and has mapped the
alignment between the SDGs and its MTS, with the MTS contributing to 10 of the 17 SDGs. UNRWA
reports to both the UN-SWAP and the Grand Bargain on an annual basis. UNRWA’s contribution to the
1, 3, 7, 8, 47, 63, 69
SDGs is not aggregated in a specific report or reported on explicitly but can be seen in the agency
annual results reporting.
In delivering on its mandate, UNRWA supports and exemplifies the framework of Humanitarian Principles
and alignment with the international normative legal framework as it relates to humanitarian action
and in particular the protection of human rights. UNRWA recently adopted a Neutrality Framework
that not only builds on the existing regulatory framework pertaining to UNRWA’s compliance with
humanitarian principles, but also reflects existing practices and responds to recommendations
56, 58, 59, 75, 78, 91
issued by applicable United Nations Boards of Inquiry. Data on possible violations of international
law, including human rights violations by duty bearers acting in UNRWA fields, is published on an
annual basis and through protection publications as well as addressed in regular engagement with
the IHRS. Core internal operating policies such as the Child Protection Framework and the Disability
guidelines, drafted with reference to international conventions on the rights of children and persons
with disabilities ensures internal programming aligns with international human rights standards.
Element 4 is not applicable given UNRWA’s mandate.
