GLOBAL APPEAL 2025 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY I FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS FUNDING UNHCR’s PROGRAMMES UNHCR presents an annual budget for approval by its Executive Committee each October. The 2025 budget of $10.248 billion is designed to enable UNHCR and its partners to provide life-saving protection, assistance and solutions in new and existing displacement situations. This budget is driven by the needs of the projected population of 139.3 million forcibly displaced and stateless people during the year ahead, which would mark another year of record numbers. Once approved, the budgeted total may be increased by supplementary budgets if unexpected crises add significantly to the needs during the year. UNHCR launches its annual fundraising effort with a Global Appeal and a Pledging Conference in December, and is continually engaged in resource mobilization from public and private sector donors to meet the identified needs and fund its work.
