Partners Donors

UNICRI is always receptive to new partnerships that facilitate its mission in countering crime, enhancing justice and contributing to the protection of human rights. Since its establishment, UNICRI has partnered with a variety of international organizations, governments, NGOs, and civil societies. These mutually-beneficial partnerships between UNICRI and partner organizations aid UNICRI in fulfilling its mandate while simultaneously improving the capabilities of UNICRI’s partners.

UNICRI operates thanks to the generosity of a number of Member States and other Donors (international and regional organizations, charities, foundations etc.).

The resources at the disposal of the Institute are nevertheless always insufficient to meet the demands for services constantly received from the international community.

UNICRI is entirely financed from voluntary contributions and does not receive any funding from the regular budget of the United Nations. Contributions may be credited to the Sub-account "UNICRI" of the United Nations Crime and Criminal Justice Fund. Contributions in kind, staff secondments, direct participation in projects and any other forms of assistance can also support UNICRI programmes.

UNICRI welcomes the support of its donors, and thanks them for their continued contribute and interest in its activities.
