UN-OAD funding UN-OAD share of DAC-ODA Funding to UN-OAD (real terms, billions $US) Funding for UN-OAD as share of DAC-ODA

In 1997, non-core funding exceeds core funding for the first time

Competition among entities

Survey question: To what extent to which UN entities compete with each other for donor funding?

Cost Recovery

High-level breakdown of expenditures in 2014

Significantly higher share of core resources are being spent on non-programme costs (i.e. programme support, management, administration, etc.)

Cost Recovery

Another contributing factor to core/non-core imbalance

Increased incentive for donors to provide non-core funds Greater subsidization of non- core activities from core resources Growing core / non-core imbalance
