31. 根据这项建议，人口基金于 2015 年 7 月发布了经修正的综合单个咨询人政策。之前关于依照特别服务协定聘用咨询人的三项单独政策(“人口基金总部的咨询人”、“人口基金外地工作地点的咨询人”和“人口基金外地工作地点的地方咨询人”)已合并为一项精简的个体咨询人政策，这项政策对所有地点的国际和地方咨询人的聘用作了规定，并根据为作为管理、评价和保留优质咨询人的工具而创建的咨询人名册的结构进行了调整。尽管按照特别服务协定模式聘用咨询人的权力下放给了外地的管理人员，不过新的咨询人名册将使管理人员能够获得咨询人的综合信息，并加强对使用特别服务协定的控制。人口基金将密切监测审计委员会小组在其外地访问期间审查的执行情况。
31. In response to this recommendation, UNFPA issued a comprehensive revised individual consultant policy in July 2015. Three previously separate policies (‘Consultants at UNFPA headquarters’; ‘International consultants at UNFPA field duty stations’; and ‘Local consultants at UNFPA field duty stations’) on hiring consultants under special service agreements have been merged into a streamlined single individual consultant policy that governs the hiring of international and local consultants at all locations and aligns it with the structure of the consultant roster created as a tool for managing, evaluating and retaining high-quality consultants. Even if the hiring of consultants under the special service agreement modality would be delegated to managers in the field, the new consultant roster would allow managers to have access to comprehensive information on consultants and enhance control over the use of special service agreements. UNFPA will closely monitor implementation for review by the Board of Auditors teams during their field visits.
