GLOBAL APPEAL 2025 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY I FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS
UNHCR’s budget and the Sustainable Development Goals
UNHCR’s budget closely aligns with the Sustainable
Development Goals. Similar to previous years, 75%
of the budget will contribute to 10 of the Goals.
Results mapped to sustainable development goals
have decreased by 6%, reflecting the variances in
the UNHCR budget by Outcome and Enabling Areas.
UNHCR is working with a broad range of partners,
including development actors, in line with the
“whole-of-society” approach of the Global Compact
on Refugees, promoting humanitarian-development
cooperation and pledge matching to aid refugees
and host communities in reaching the SDGs.
