Government donors

UNRWA is funded almost entirely by voluntary contributions, outside of a very limited subsidy from the Regular Budget of the United Nations, which is used exclusively for administrative costs. UNRWA's work, in close collaboration with national governments and other partners, could not be carried out effectively without the sustained generous contributions received from states and regional governments, the European Union, and other partners.

This section provides useful information about our donors, funding mechanisms, modalities for contributions and the humanitarian and development issues that drive our work.
