UNRWA co-operates with governments, other
U.N. agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs),
universities, advocacy groups, research institutes, logistical
experts and suppliers. Between them, they help provide an array
of services for vulnerable refugees ranging from education,
health services, food aid to the provision of legal assistance
or mental health.

by the United States, the second largest contributor over the same
period followed by Sweden, the United Kingdom and Norway.

Civil Society Organisations
UNRWA engages with civil society at many levels in
its five fields of operation in order to support people in their efforts
to build a better life. Among its civil society partners, UNRWA includes
non-government organizations (NGOs), community-based organizations (CBOs),
youth and women's organizations, academic institutions and policy and
research networks. Substantive partnership with civil society is of
great strategic importance in order to help our beneficiaries develop
feelings of national ownership and accountability, as well as to ensure
the quality and relevance of UNRWA’s programmes.

Private Sector and Foundations
Because UNRWA recognizes that the private sector and
foundations can be important partners in advancing its mission to ensure
that every Palestinian refugee child has a stable future; it is working
to develop a strategy in order to better engage with corporations and
foundations both in the region and abroad in the coming years. |
