Contributions of WHO member states to the first WHO Investment Round

Map of the Month 12/2024

The WHO Investment Round, initiated by the "Sustainable Finance Working Group", is a new pillar to secure sustainable, predictable and flexible funding for the WHO, complementing the gradual increase in assessed contributions. Between May and November 2024, the first-ever Investment Round raised 3.8 billion USD (53% of the 7.1 billion target) from 53 member states and 16 philantrophy, private sector, or multilateral entities. Only member states and the European Union are shown here. For 2025-2028, the WHO's General Program of Work (GPW) requires 11.1 billion USD in total funding, of which 4 billion USD will come from assessed contributions. This approach aims to address critical health needs while ensuring financial sustainability and accountability.

Vote by UN General Assembly on motion for no action on Russian amendment to the Pact for the Future

Map of the Month 09/2024

On 22 September 2024, the UN General Assembly adopted by consensus the Pact for the Future along with its annexes, the Global Digital Compact and the Declaration on Future Generations. Beforehand, however, the Russian Federation criticised the negotiations and the pact and put forward an amendment which stated „that the United Nations and its system shall not intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any State (…)“. Congo on behalf of the African Group requested a motion for no action which was voted on and supported with 143 states in favour, 7 against (Russia, Iran, Syria, North Korea, Nicaragua, Belarus and Sudan) and 15 abstentions. 28 states did not participate. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres called the Pact and its annexes „landmark agreements“ which were "step-change towards more effective, inclusive, networked multilateralism.“ The Pact includes 56 action steps in areas like sustainable development, peace and security, digital cooperation, youth and future generations or global governance.

Donor and Recipient countries and progress of appeals Humanitarian aid worldwide until mid-2024

Map of the Month 08/2024

As of 19 August, World Humanitarian Day, only 26.6% of the required funds for 2024 have been received, which are channeled through UN agencies, funds, NGOs and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. With 6.5 billion USD, the USA is by far the largest donor, followed by the European Commission, Japan and Germany. The 10 largest donors have contributed around 80% of the amount until now, with Russia and China together contributing only around 0.07%. With 1.5 billion USD, the biggest amount is currently going to the Palestinian territories, although only 47% of the corresponding appeal has been covered. The other top 10 recipient countries include Ukraine, Sudan, Syria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Afghanistan, South Sudan and Somalia.

Ratification of the Additional Protocols to the Geneva Convention of 12 August 1949

Map of the Month 08/2024

On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, the President of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Mirjana Spoljaric Egger, called for the Geneva Conventions to be made a political priority. While they are considered universally ratified with 196 signatory states, their enforcement remains an enormous challenge. Not only the respect and observance of the conventions and their additional protocols by the signatory states, but also the further ratification of the additional protocols are therefore indispensable in view of the increasing conflicts worldwide. While 20 active conflicts were counted in 1999, there are currently more than 120.
