In 2022, the Funding Windows continued to serve as UNDP’s primary thematic funding vehicle, in support of the new UNDP Strategic Plan (2022-2025) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Funding Windows complemented UNDP’s core resources by providing catalytic funds in a range of development contexts, including those affected by complex and compounding crises. These funds allowed UNDP to target critical country and regional-level needs as they emerged, and to support ongoing integrated programmatic solutions around the globe.
In 2022, 117 countries utilized Funding Windows resources to achieve their aims and make progress on Country Programme Document (CPD) outcomes. The Funding Windows supported programmatic operations in 40 Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and in 52 countries and contexts that are considered to be affected by crisis and fragility.
Of the types of contributions received by the Funding Windows, pooled contributions consist of fully flexible, unearmarked resources. This report focuses primarily on the 40 countries and territories that were required to report in 2022 on the use of pooled funds.
In 2022, 15 percent of total expenditures qualified as GEN3 and 35 percent of pooled resources were spent on GEN3 projects.

In line with the Secretary-General’s Funding Compact, the Funding Windows provide options to countries coupled with rapid and effective oversight, reporting and accountability principles and mechanisms.
The Funding Windows:
countries mobilized additional resources
countries directed resources to underfunded priorities

The Funding Windows also enable UNDP to work closely across UN agencies, funds, and programmes, multiplying impact through coordinated interventions.
