Funding

 

UNIDIR relies predominantly on voluntary donations from governments and private funders to pursue its research agenda. UNIDIR also receives a modest subvention from the United Nations regular budget, which covers a portion of the Institute's administrative costs.

There are three types of voluntary contributions: unrestricted support, contributions for institutional and programme development; programme support towards one of the main research programmes; and project support for a specific activity undertaken by the Institute (such as a particular meeting).

Donors receive a full account of how their money was used, as well as an analysis of the impact of their contribution. UNIDIR is committed to transparent, cost-effective and results-based financial management. The Institute's accounts are submitted each year to the General Assembly and are regularly subjected to external and internal audits.

For more detailed information on UNIDIR's finances, or to make a contribution to our work, please contact Isabelle Roger.

Over the last three years, the work of UNIDIR has been made possible through the financial contributions of the following donors:
