Funding WHO

The 21st century has brought economic, political, environmental and technological changes that significantly affect the way we work to improve public health.

WHO is undertaking extensive reform to ensure that the Organization is well-equipped to meet these increasingly complex challenges. As part of these efforts, we're working to improve the alignment, flexibility, predictability and transparency of the Organization's financing, and to reduce its vulnerability. The ultimate aim is a fully funded Programme Budget for 2014-2015 and beyond.
