2017.16 Quick Impacts Projects (Policy)

Abstract

This policy defines the purpose of Quick Impact Projects (QIPs), and describes their nature, scope, size and duration. It outlines principles for programme and financial management of QIPs and provides direction on budgetary issues. It applies to QIPs funding provided to peacekeeping missions through the assessed budget. It does not cover the funds that military contingents themselves occasionally bring to assist their operations or funds provided by bi-lateral donors to the Trust Fund of the mission, which may carry their own requirement for use. However, the policy may be used as guidance in the use of these funds. Similarly, this policy does not apply to programmatic funding for mandate implementation which is governed by separate guidance.
