UNDRR Funding
Throughout 2023, donor partners continued to recognize the important role of UNDRR in preventing new, and reducing existing, disaster risk as well as managing residual risk.

Funding

In 2023, UNDRR received USD 53.55 million in financial contributions. The
biennial Work Programme 2022-23 had a funding requirement of USD 110
million, including USD 50.37 million for 2023. USD 45.59 million was mobilized to cover the 2023 cost plan.

In-kind contributions were another important source of support to UNDRR this year with ten (10) Junior Professional Officers (JPOs) provided by Finland, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the United States of America (4).

Throughout the year, UNDRR facilitated peer-to-peer exchange and knowledge sharing through regular consultations and dialogue with UN Member States at the UNDRR Support Group in Geneva, the Group of Friends in New York, as well as two donor meetings and two Early Warnings for All thematic briefings to donors held virtually.

Flexible or unearmarked funding

Flexible core funding is vitally important to UNDRR. The flexibility of this funding enables the office to more efficiently and effectively deliver on its Work Programme, to adjust to changing circumstances and facilitate strategic forward planning, as 99.9% of UNDRR’s total funding is through extrabudgetary resources. Ten donors, namely China, Finland, France, Japan, Luxembourg, Norway, Philippines, Republic of Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, provided full or partial unearmarked core support for UNDRR, providing USD 13.1 million in 2023, which represents 24% of funding received.

Multi-year agreements further support strategic planning through predictable funding. UNDRR continued to advocate for such agreements and signed three new multi-year contributions with Canada, the Netherlands, Republic of Korea and the United States of America in 2023. UNDRR also has multi-year agreements from previous years with Australia,
CDRI, China, CREWS, European Union, Finland, Germany, Luxembourg, Norway, Republic of Korea, Sweden, Switzerland and United States of America.

Donors

The top ten donors to UNDRR — Sweden, Germany, USA, Japan, Italy, Australia, Switzerland, Norway, Republic of Korea and CREWS — each contributed more than USD 2 million in UNDRR was particularly pleased to welcome five new and returning donors to UNDRR in 2023: Canada, Mauritius, Poland, Portugal and the Netherlands.
