Regular resources report 2024: UN Women’s impact through regular resources

This report provides information and analysis of UN Women’s regular resources in 2024. Regular resources, also known as voluntary “core” resources, “unearmarked contributions”, and “unrestricted funding”, are monetary contributions to UN Women’s Strategic Plan that enable implementation of the triple mandate—encompassing normative support, UN System coordination, and operational activities tasked by the General Assembly. They play a critical role enabling UN Women to tap into the powerful complementarity of its triple mandate by funding our normative and coordination roles that are not suited to project funding.

In 2024, 82 funding partners contributed USD 153.2 million in regular resources. The trust placed in UN Women by these funding partners, their political engagement in support of gender equality and women’s empowerment, and their financial contribution allowed UN Women to work in 83 countries and presences.

The 2024 report highlights the pivotal role of regular resources in enabling UN Women to advance gender equality within multilateral spaces. These resources, among others, help UN Women position the UN system, government partners, and other stakeholders to collaborate and build consensus on vital issues affecting women and girls. The report showcases the interplay between global- and regional-level progress in standards on gender equality and impactful country-level work that empowers women and girls.
