The unearmarked funds represented 30 per cent of the overall voluntary contribution received in 2018, a dramatic decrease from 43 per cent in 2017 and the lowest percentage since 2005. During 2010-2018, the percentage of unearmarked funding has fluctuated between 30 per cent (at its lowest in 2018) and 54 per cent (at its highest in 2010 and 2013). Some of the increase in earmarking can be attributed to the receipt of more locally sourced funding for fieldwork and contributions from non-traditional budget lines that can only be accessed as earmarked funds (such as humanitarian and development budget lines). Other contributions that were previously unearmarked are now provided as more circumscribed funding. 2016 In 2018, the number of Member States that contributed to UN Human Rights remained the same as in 2017 at 63 Member States. The overall number of donors increased by seven, amounting to a total of 89 donors compared to 82 donors the previous year. During 2010-2018, the number of contributing Member States fluctuated between its lowest (62) in 2015 and its highest (71) in 2011. The total number of donors that contributed to UN Human Rights was lowest in 2010 and 2015 (71) and highest (89) in 2018. Total number of donors 2014 NUMBER AND TYPOLOGY OF DONORS Number of Member State donors 2016 Of the 63 Member States that contributed in 2018, four were from the African Group, 14 were from the Asia-Pacific Group, 14 were from the Eastern European Group, seven were from the Latin American and Caribbean Group and 24 were members of the Western European and Others Group. During 2010-2018, the number of donors per regional group fluctuated between 24 and 28 for the Western European and Others Group, between 14 and 20 for the Asia-Pacific Group, between seven and 14 for the Eastern European Group, between seven and 10 for the Latin American and Caribbean Group and between two and five for the African Group. EARMARKED VERSUS UNEARMARKED CONTRIBUTIONS 2015 Additional income, including interest and miscellaneous income, brought the total available income in 2018 to US$188.8 million. With expenditure amounting to US$155.8 million, UN Human Rights recorded less expenditure than income for the third time since 2010. This was due primarily to a concerted effort undertaken by UN Human Rights to control expenditures through systematic monitoring during the year. NUMBER OF DONORS (INCLUDING MEMBER STATES) 2013 Total expenditures in 2018, including both regular budget and voluntary contributions, reached US$274.1 million (compared to US$246.7 million in 2017, US$223.3 million in 2016, US$225.9 million in 2015 and US$239.1 million in 2014). Eight governments renewed their support after at least one year of financial inactivity. Another nine Member States left the list of donors, despite the High Commissioner’s repeated appeals to broaden UN Human Rights’ donor base. Over the last four years, only 46 Member States provided an annual contribution and 36 others contributed at least once in the same four-year period. 2012 EXPENDITURE COMPARED TO INCOME FUNDING WEOG UN HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT 2018 83
