Structured Financing Dialogue with Member States
2024
As a new Programme and Budget cycle begins and with the recent endorsement by the Executive Board of the , it is a critical time to discuss the shared responsibility to ensure adequate funding for UNESCO鈥檚 Programme, foster synergies and mobilize support for areas that require a strengthened effort.
The Structured Financing Dialogue (SFD) provides an opportunity for Member States to better understand UNESCO鈥檚 unique funding situation, needs, financing trends over time and their impact on the achievement of results. It is also an opportunity to exchange views on how to improve UNESCO鈥檚 financing structure and in particular the quality of funding the Organization receives, notably against the benchmarking provided by the UN Funding Compact.
The SFD offers an update on the Secretariat鈥檚 efforts to attract a greater share of predictable and flexible funding, and best practices in this area.
