Our Donors and partners

Our work is made possible by the generous support of our donors and the dedication of our partners, whose shared commitment drives impactful change across the Arab region.


UNDP’s Regional Programme for Arab States supports transformative development initiatives across the region, thanks to significant backing from a range of committed bilateral donors, institutional partners, and specialized funds. This collaborative approach allows us to address challenges such as youth empowerment, climate resilience, anti-corruption, and sustainable economic growth.


Our work is supported through contributions from key donors, including the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the US State Department, the Siemens Integrity Initiative, the Korea International Cooperation Agency, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, and the Government of Germany. We also work closely with foundations like the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) and benefit from the involvement of organizations such as the UNDP Nordic Representative Office.


Our partnerships extend across a broad network of collaborators, including the League of Arab States (LAS), the Arab Water Council (AWC), and international bodies like the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA), Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Digital Cooperation Organization (DCO), and UN agencies such as UNEP-FI, UN-Habitat, UNDRR, WFP, and UNOPS.


Through vertical funds, including the Adaptation Fund, Green Climate Fund (GCF), and Global Environment Facility (GEF), we access critical resources to expand our efforts. Additionally, we collaborate with a diverse range of business associations and civil society organizations, as well as entities like the Confederation of Danish Industries (DI), SME Denmark, and the Danish Chamber of Commerce (Dansk Erhverv).


Collaborative partnerships remain central to our approach, enabling us to mobilize expertise and resources to maximize impact. We extend our deep appreciation to UNDP’s core donors and partners and remain committed to working hand-in-hand to advance the Sustainable Development Goals across the Arab region.
