Notes
All references to dollars ($) are to United States dollars.
Details and percentages do not necessarily add up to the totals shown because of rounding.
A hyphen (-) indicates that the item is not applicable.
The tables are designed in such a way that they can be used as stand-alone sources of
information.
The financial data in the tables on projects reflect the situation as at 31 December 2020. In
early 2020, budget figures were adjusted to reflect exact income.
Total income 2017–2020 refers to funding received within that period. For projects
financed by the United Nations Development Programme, total income equals total
expenditures.
