Background, Scope and Methodology Background Sample Clauses

Background, Scope and Methodology Background. The micro assessment is part of the requirements under the Harmonized Approach to Cash Transfers (HACT) Framework. The HACT framework represents a common operational framework for UN agencies’ transfer of cash to government and non-governmental implementing partners. The micro-assessment assesses the IP/RP’s control framework. It results in a risk rating (low, moderate, significant or high). The overall risk rating is used by the UN agencies, along with other available information (e.g. history of engagement with the agency and previous assurance results), to determine the type and frequency of assurance activities as per each agency’s guideline and can be taken into consideration when selecting the appropriate cash transfer modality for an IP/RP. Scope The micro-assessment provides an overall assessment of the Implementing Partner’s programme, financial and operations management policies, procedures, systems and internal controls. It includes: • A review of the IP/RP legal status, governance structures and financial viability; programme management, organizational structure and staffing, accounting policies and procedures, fixed assets and inventory, financial reporting and monitoring, and procurement; • A focus on compliance with policies, procedures, regulations and institutional arrangements that are issued both by the Government and the Implementing Partner. It takes into account results of any previous micro assessments conducted of the Implementing Partner. Methodology We performed the micro-assessment from [date] to [date] at [describe locations]. Through discussion with management, observation and walk-through tests of transactions, we have assessed the Implementing Partner’s and the related internal control system with emphasis on: • The effectiveness of the systems in providing the Implementing Partner’s management with accurate and timely information for management of funds and assets in accordance with work plans and agreements with the United Nations agencies; • The general effectiveness of the internal control system in protecting the assets and resources of the Implementing Partner. We discussed the results of the micro assessment with applicable UN agency personnel and the IP/RP prior to finalization of the report.

  • General Background Ecuador is part of the United Nations Convention of 1951 relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol, as well as major international and regional human rights instruments that recognize the right to asylum. It is also part of the United Nations Convention of 1954 relating to the Status of Stateless Persons and the United Nations Convention of 1961 on the Reduction of Statelessness. The asylum procedure in Ecuador is regulated by the Organic Law of Human Mobility, effective February 6, 2017. Ecuador is a country of transit and destination for people who need international protection. In the last two decades, Ecuador hosted more than 68,708 recognized refugees (mainly Colombian) and has become one of the leading countries of transit and destination for Venezuelan refugees and migrants. Ecuador receives the third highest number of Venezuelans after Colombia and Peru. Since 2016, more than 4.7 million Venezuelans have left their country, making it the biggest exodus in the history of Latin America. Of these, 2.2 million have entered Ecuador, of which estimated 500,000 have been established in the country according to the R4V. In 2019, approximately 2,100 Venezuelans per day entered Ecuador (with peaks of 6,000) until 26 August, when Ecuador began requiring visas for Venezuelans. Since 2018, the number of Venezuelan asylum seekers exceeded the number of asylum seekers from Colombia. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees works in Ecuador supporting the Ecuadorian government to protect refugees and looking for durable solutions. UNHCR's operation in Ecuador began in 2000 as part of the strategy of the organization to protect and provide assistance, particularly to the victims of the Colombian conflict. The Ecuadorian 2023-2025 Multiyear Strategy aims to support the Government of Ecuador to: (i) the development of protection mechanisms, (ii) strengthening national asylum system, (iii) and identification of durable solutions, including alternative pathways. The operation is coordinated at the national level by the country office in Quito. In addition, UNHCR has Sub- Offices in Quito (Solanda), Xxxxxx and Guayaquil; Field Offices in Esmeraldas, Huaquillas, Tulcán, Lago Agrio, and Field Units in Manta, Cuenca and Ambato.
