UN Financing


Our work in this area strengthens understanding of the financing of the UN at global and country level and increases awareness of good practices and change in funding behaviour.

About


This project contributes to strengthening understanding of the financing of the UN at global and country level and increase awareness of good practices and change in funding behaviour.

Being adequately resourced is a pre-requisite for the UN to meet Member State expectations and ambitions agreed in the global agenda. Improving funding quality, predictability, flexibility, and accountability is necessary for effective multilateral responses to the development challenges that countries face. In that regard, commitments made by the UN and Member States such as the Funding Compact offer a potential framework for changing funding behaviour.
