Completing the IMS Survey

The New IMS Survey

The new IMS is organized into 4 different sections, collecting information on:

• DCO Regional Office & UNCT Composition (rolling basis)

• CF Overview in the CF/UNDAF plan (rolling basis, previously managed in the IMS Monthly survey)

• Programmatic and Coordination Areas (annually)

• Normative Areas (human rights and youth, gender and disability scorecards) (annually)

DEADLINES: The deadline to fill out the annual IMS questionnaire is 30 November, as in previous years. However, the deadline to fill out the normative questionnaire is extended until 31 December, given the wealth of data to be gathered for the human rights, gender, disability and youth scorecards. After each deadline the correspondent survey will be closed for data validation and reporting building.
