UN Women is grateful for the commitment from its growing family of donors. 2015 set a new record for the number of countries contributing to UN Women’s regular resources (core) revenue with 146 government donors, getting us closer to our target of 150 contributing Member States.
However, the year 2015 also brought unforeseen challenges for regular resources (core) due to negative exchange rate variations. Total 2015 voluntary contributions revenue is USD 307 million, a 5.1% decrease over the USD 322.8 million received in 2014.
Total contributions for 2015 comprised USD 136.1 million for regular resources (core) (USD 163.7 million in 2014) and USD 171 million for other resources (non-core) (USD 159.2 million in 2014). UN Women is very encouraged by the growth of its other resources (non-core) revenue and will exert all efforts to regain the growth momentum for its regular resources (core) revenue from previous years by further increasing dialogue and resource mobilization efforts with our donors.
