Stakeholder Response Mechanism
Have a Concern About a UNDP Project in Zimbabwe?
We're here to listen. If you believe a UNDP project is having a negative social or environmental impact, you can voice your concerns through our project complaint process.
Who can submit a complaint? Anyone who may be affected by a UNDP project in Zimbabwe can submit a complaint. This includes individuals and communities potentially experiencing negative impacts. You can also have a representative submit a complaint on your behalf.
How to Submit a Complaint. To submit a complaint, you can email our project complaint office at stakeholder.zim@undp.org. Your email should include the following information:
- Your contact information
- Whether you would like to remain anonymous during the initial assessment (you cannot remain anonymous throughout the resolution process)
- The name and location of the UNDP project (if known)
- How you believe the project is negatively affecting you
- Any steps you have already taken to address the concern
- Whether you are interested in working with others to find a solution
- (If a third party is submitting the complaint) Proof that you have the community's backing
