Resource Partners and Funding
In 2019 the ILO received more than US$ 459 million in voluntary funding from funding partners. In the 2018-2019 biennium, voluntary funding accounted for approximately 50 per cent of the ILO's total resources.
Where possible, partners are encouraged to provide flexible, un-earmarked and predictable core funding through the Regular Budget Supplementary Account (RBSA). The ILO has also 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. Detailed information about ILO's entire development cooperation portfolio is available in the Development Cooperation Dashboard.
