Established in 1999, the UN Trust Fund for Human Security (UNTFHS) finances activities carried out by the UN system to deliver comprehensive, cross-sectoral and preventive responses to complex and multidimensional challenges. By combining a set of fundamental principles that characterize the human security approach (protection and empowerment, people-centred, comprehensive, context-specific and prevention-oriented), the Fund promotes integrated and targeted responses that cut across sectors, are grounded in local realities, address the root causes of vulnerabilities, build resilience, and adopt multi-stakeholder partnerships to fully realise the transformative promise of the 2030 Agenda.
