Their contributions account for over 80 per cent of overall income in 2024. Governments and institutional donors are UNRWA’s largest source of funding. Through building robust partnerships with governments, intergovernmental organisations and streamlining global advocacy in multilateral platforms, UNRWA was able to further sustain, increase and diversify the Agency’s funding resources for running its core, public-like services.
