In 2017, the Fund received US$58,441 in voluntary contributions. With the financial support of the Fund, the participation of government representatives from three States under review in the twenty-seventh UPR Working Group session, seven States under review during the twentyeighth UPR Working Group session, and five States under review in the thirty-fourth plenary session of the Human Rights Council, was facilitated in 2017.
