The United Nations Country Team and key UN staff recently conducted a Crisis Management and Business Continuity Exercise. Based on a crisis scenario, the 3-day exercise presented various security, safety operational, legal and reputational challenges to test the UN System preparedness to deal with such threats and to continue its operations during a crisis. Facilitated by UNDP’s Regional Security Team, the exercise proved useful in building the UN’s capacity in-country to manage crisis and continue time-critical business processes.
