PARTNERSHIP IN ACTION – UNDP AND UNHCR COOPERATION ON FORCED DISPLACEMENT AND STATELESSNESS
4. FINANCING
Collaboration increases the chances of achieving inclusion and durable solutions that benefit both forcibly
displaced populations and host communities and countries. It brings coherence between humanitarian,
development and peace actions. And it improves the impact and efficiency of support that the UN system
brings - reducing duplication of efforts, offering synergies and achieving results which cannot be delivered
working separately.
Sometimes, collaboration yields benefits without requiring significant financial allocations or without
changes to existing financing arrangements, such as in cases outlined here in Afghanistan and Mozambique.
In other circumstances, collaboration can benefit from seed financing. Increased or sustained collaboration
can also have financial implications. Collaboration can help to mobilise resources for the benefit of UN,
international partners and national partners – the 3RP being an example of collaboration facilitating largescale resource mobilisation.
