The primary goal of UN-Habitat Resource Mobilisation Strategy is to ensure sufficient, predictable, flexible and long-term funding to deliver the results in the organization’s strategic plan. It aims to be result-focused, efficient, transparent and accountable to maximise grants and investments’ return on value. The total financial target is to raise USD 1.1 billion for the implementation of UN-Habitat’s current strategic plan.
Resource mobilization is carried out through joint efforts by various offices in UN-Habitat. While regional and country offices primarily raise funds for technical cooperation projects in the fields, Headquarters offices focus more on raising funds for global normative programmes. This work is coordinated and supported by the Donor Relations and Resource Strategic Partnerships Unit in the External Relations, Strategy, Knowledge and Innovation Division. A donor focal points system is also in place to ensure that we maintain consistent communications with our development partners.
