UN Women is incredibly grateful for its donor partners’ commitment to making gender equality and women’s empowerment a global priority and for supporting UN Women’s life-changing programmes in 90 countries.
In 2016, UN Women received financial support from 108 Member States, forward-thinking business partners, generous philanthropists and individual donors who want to do their part to change the world. With your combined support, UN Women mobilized a total of USD 327,352,866.
While progress is being made, there continues to be chronic underinvestment in gender equality and women’s empowerment. UN Women appeals to all our stakeholders to step up your contributions and your commitment to creating brighter futures for women and girls everywhere.

- These statements have been prepared on an accrual basis, in accordance with International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS). Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues and expenses are recognized in the financial statements in the period to which they relate.
- Assessed contributions are issued as an annual allotment from the United Nations regular budget, and are assessed and approved for a two-year budget period. The amount of these contributions is then apportioned between the two years.
- The deficit for the current financial year is due to a timing difference between the receipt of earmarked donor funds recognized in 2015 and associated programme delivery expenditure incurred in 2016.
