Today Sweden announced its 2008 contribution to UNRWA’s General Fund of SEK 252 million (approximately US$ 40 million). This represents an increase of SEK 10 million (US$ 1.5 million) from last year.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Sweden is the Agency’s third largest donor. In 2007, it contributed SEK 242 million (US$ 34.3 million) to the General Fund (UNRWA’s regular budget) in addition to SEK 70 million (US$ 10.3 million) for the Agency’s Emergency Appeals. <\/p><\/div>\n

"With this generous contribution", UNRWA’s Commissioner-General, Karen AbuZayd, noted, "Sweden once again demonstrates its steadfast support for UNRWA and Palestine refugees." She added that "Sweden is an important partner of UNRWA – a strong supporter in terms of financial assistance as well as engagement. Sweden sets a high standard of good donorship and its active support underscores its firm commitment to Palestine refugees."<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Sweden also supports the Agency’s Organizational Development process and part of its General Fund contribution will be allocated to pursue this comprehensive reform initiative.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
