Support Project Concept Notes Review, Translation and Edit Standardization

UNRWA is a United Nations agency established by the General Assembly in 1949 and is mandated to help and protection to a population of 5.7 million registered Palestine refugees. Its mission is to help Palestine refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, West Bank, and the Gaza Strip to achieve their full potential in human development, pending a just solution to their plight. UNRWA’s services encompass education, health care, relief and social services, camp infrastructure and improvement, microfinance, and emergency assistance. UNRWA is funded almost entirely by voluntary contributions.

UNRWA depends almost exclusively on voluntary contributions by UN Member States and intergovernmental organisations for the funding of its mandate and operations. Their contributions account for over 80 per cent of overall income in 2024. Governments and institutional donors are UNRWA’s largest source of funding. Through building robust partnerships with governments, intergovernmental organisations and streamlining global advocacy in multilateral platforms, UNRWA was able to further sustain, increase and diversify the Agency’s funding resources for running its core, public-like services. UNRWA is collaborating with all partners to mobilise adequate funding to safeguard the Agency’s continued operations and avoid a further reduction in essential services.
