New York - The Government of Spain is strengthening its support to UNDP’s regular core resources to boost innovative and integrated development solutions to improve the lives of millions of people around the world.   

The contribution of €2.75 million (US$ 2.97 million) for the fiscal year 2023, represents an increase of 323% from the previous year and sends a strong signal of Spain's commitment to multilateralism and the advancement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).  

UNDP greatly appreciates the increase in support from Spain, especially in this era of poly-crisis, where sustainable development solutions are needed more than ever. At the halfway point to 2030, UNDP remains committed to implementing its Strategic Plan 2022-2025, focusing on those furthest left behind, especially women, youth and other vulnerable groups. 

 In addition, investments in core resources allows UNDP to pioneer innovative approaches to development and lays the foundation for flagship initiatives such as the Climate Promise. UNDP looks forward to further strengthening its partnership with Spain and deepening the collaboration on issues of shared priority such as crises and conflict, financing for development, gender equality and climate action.  

The flexible support to UNDP’s core resources by Spain and other partners is vital for UNDP's ability to continue delivering programmes effectively, efficiently and following the highest standards of transparency and accountability.
