Below is the detailed breakdown of each donor category

UNODC intensified its cooperation with major donors and emerging and national donors. In 2008, major donors provided about 54 per cent of all voluntary contributions (2007: 72 per cent), emerging and national donors about 39 per cent (2006: 21 per cent), while others accounted for about 7 per cent.

 

 

Particularly noteworthy were significantly increased pledges from Brazil, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, India, Peru, Poland and the United States of America.

Key institutional support for general purpose funding came from Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and the United States, which together contributed about 91 per cent of the un-earmarked funding. Brazil, Colombia and Mexico continued to provide significant cost-sharing for the local support budget. Equally important, some donor countries (France, Germany, Japan, Norway and Sweden) accelerated their general purpose contributions to sustain the core infrastructure of the Office.
