Special thanks to our donors

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

Italy, as the host government of our main campus and headquarters, provided essential funding that has enabled UNSSC to expand and better deliver on its mandate. Notably, in 2023, Italy demonstrated its generosity once again by allocating significant funds for the UN Campus in Turin, which is earmarked for the comprehensive refurbishment of the office and training facilities, ensuring state-of-the-art development in the coming years.

Germany’s contributions continue to play a pivotal role for the UNSSC Knowledge Centre in Bonn, facilitating its expansion and enhancing operations within the realm of sustainable development. The Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency and the Turin-based Compagnia di San Paolo Foundation have been strong supporters, allies and partners with whom we have shared visions, strategies and ideas.

The results achieved in 2023 would not have been possible without the support of our key donors.
