As a global leader in security risk management principles, UNDSS is responsible for providing leadership, operational support and oversight of the United Nations security management system (UNSMS) worldwide. Present in 131 countries where UN operates, UNDSS enables the safe and effective delivery of United Nations programmes and activities in the most complex and challenging environments, while maximizing resources.

The Gender and Inclusion Unit (GIU) of UNDSS is developing a series of knowledge products based on five country assessments examining the implementation of a person-centered approach to security risk management in Afghanistan, Lebanon, Myanmar, Syria, and Thailand. Through the engagement of a Senior Consultant, the findings and lessons learned from these assessments will be transformed into standardized practices, tools, and case studies. These products will be disseminated through an e-publication and a web-based platform (an internal SharePoint site) to support knowledge sharing and organizational learning across UNDSS duty stations worldwide.
