ANNEX 1 . 83 Risk is examined in relation to specific areas of UNRWA’s work which outlines risks and mitigation strategies; for example, UNRWA’s Camp Security Approach and as part of the Gender Equality Strategy. Security risk management is of particular concern for the organisation; the 2017 Evaluation of the security risk management programme found that given UNRWA’s decentralised nature, the operationalisation of safety and security differs across the field of operation and that safety and security was not fully mainstreamed in programming. A number of the evaluation’s recommendations have been implemented since including a standard security risk management system is in place, and capacity gaps have been addressed through prioritized recruitment of FSOs. It remains a challenge for the organisation though; the end of 2017 26 UNRWA staff were missing, detained, kidnapped or 1, 8, 10, 16, 18, 19, 23, 24, 28, 31, 35, 36, 37, 52, 61, 142 presumed detained. UNRWA’s Strategic Framework for Partnerships outlines that risk-assessment must be conducted if a formal agreement will be developed with a non-UN or non-State donors. UNRWA’s Due Diligence policy provides the framework for a transparent process for screening potential partners to ensure that UNRWA only partners with entities that will not compromise UNRWA’s reputation.

There is no systematic analysis undertaken of climate change and environmental sustainability and this does not seem yet to be a key focus of the organisation. Project Review Committees also review projects for the integration of cross-cutting issues. The MTS and other corporate strategic frameworks do include attention to cross-cutting issues, but the agency has struggled to report against its protection indicators, including on GBV, which are described as being ‘aspirational’. 1, 3, 8, 18, 22, 31, 40, 104, 108
