Donors and financial announcements made during pledging conference for Sudan in Geneva

Map of the Month 06/2023

During a donor conference for Sudan in Geneva on 19 June, USD 1.52 billion in pledges were received against a need of USD 3 billion. Co-organisers were the UN, the EU and the African Union, as well as Germany, Egypt, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The highest contributions came from the USA (550 million), Germany (161 million), the European Commission (151 million), Canada (102 million) and Saudi Arabia (100 million). About half of Sudan's population, 24.7 million people are in need of humanitarian aid. The pledges made fall far below the massive $2.57 billion needed for the 2023 Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) which is currently only about 17% covered and the $445 million for the Regional Response Plan (RRP) which is only about 13% covered.

Forced Displacement 2022 - Host countries, countries of origin and contributions to UNHCR

Map of the Month 06/2023

Globally, 108.4 million people were forcibly displaced by the end of 2022 as indicated in the Global Trends Report 2023 of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). 70% of them were hosted in neighbouring countries and 76% in low- and middle-income countries. More than 5 million people displaced originated from only four countries: Syria, Ukraine, Afghanistan and Venezuela. By mid-June, the UNHCR counted 110 million forcibly displaced worldwide, mainly due to the ongoing fighting in Sudan.

International labour organisation: Vote on the draft programme and budget 2024/2025

Map of the Month 06/2023

At the 111th International Labour Conference (ILC) in Geneva, for the first time in the history of the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the draft programme and budget had to be put to a vote. A coalition of African countries and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) rejected ILO support for disadvantaged groups (including LGBTQI+). The compromise finally adopted still explicitly includes protection against discrimination on the basis of race, sexual orientation and gender identity and was adopted by 477 votes (11 against, 7 abstentions).

National health expenditures

Map of the Month 06/2023

In the context of the pandemic agreements, WHO member states are discussing a stronger commitment to invest in their own health care in the sense of better pandemic prevention, preparedness and response. However, the share of external financing sources in national health expenditure is often above 20%, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and the Small Island Developing States (SIDS). Often, these funds are earmarked. They are therefore only suitable to a limited extent for strengthening health care in general; rather, observers presumably see a dependency with regard to the substantive priorities of care.
