Special thanks to our key donors

At UNSSC, we are extremely grateful for the continuing support that our key donors provided in 2024.

We are incredibly grateful for the continuing support of our key donors. As the host government of our main campus and headquarters, Italy provided essential funding that enabled UNSSC to expand and better deliver on its mandate. Germany’s contributions continue to play a pivotal role for the UNSSC Knowledge Centre in Bonn, facilitating its expansion and enhancing operations within the area of sustainable development. The Turin-based Compagnia di San Paolo Foundation has been a strong supporter, ally and partner. The results achieved in 2024 would not have been possible without the support of our key donors and partners.
