In a complex environment with fast shifting needs and priorities, we depend on donors to provide contributions that can be allocated as flexibly as possible. These allow us to direct funds where they are most needed, providing protection, shelter, water, health, education and other essentials to millions of refugees, asylum-seekers, stateless and internally displaced people around the world.

Donor profiles
All donors who have funded UNHCR’s activities in recent years are included in this section on our Global Focus website.
When UNHCR refers to flexible funding, this is what it means:
Contributed without restrictions on its use. It provides UNHCR with vital flexibility in determining how best to protect and assist people of concern who are in the greatest need or at the greatest risk.
Allows UNHCR to allocate resources across a range of countries and activities in a given region or situation, or a specific Pillar, theme or activity in accordance with identified priorities.
Contributions for a specific country without any further limitations. Also includes contributions for the response to an emergency situation within a specified country.
Contributions that are earmarked for a specific project or sector within a country or division. Also includes in-kind contributions and Junior Professional Officers.
Pledged for 24 months or more. Whilst not all multiyear funding is flexible, the value of this type of contribution is its predictability, allowing UNHCR to apportion resources where they are needed most at the beginning of the year.
