Resource Partners and Funding
In 2016 the ILO received voluntary funding from donors of US$ 242.96 million. In past years voluntary funding has accounted on average for 43% of overall ILO resources.
Where possible, partners are encouraged to provide flexible, un-earmarked and predictable funding. In return the ILO has strengthened its capacity to manage for development results and to deliver value for money. Monitoring and evaluation inform the programming process and enhance country and constituent ownership.
