Funding UNHCR's programmes

UNHCR relies on the generosity of its donors for its work. Unfortunately, donor budgets have become increasingly stretched just as the global needs are reaching new heights.

Over 100 multi-storey buildings in the area were destroyed or heavily damaged by intense Russian shelling in 2022, and most of the area’s 40,000 residents fled. UNHCR and its partners are now helping to rebuild, and 12,000 people have returned to their homes. © UNHCR/Iryna Tymchyshyn

Overview

UNHCR presents an annual budget for approval by its Executive Committee each October.
The 2025 budget of $10.248 billion is designed for impact, and to enable UNHCR and its partners to provide life-saving protection, assistance and solutions in new and existing displacement situations.
This budget is driven by the needs of the projected population of 139.3 million forcibly displaced and stateless people during the year ahead, which would mark another year of record numbers.
