Spain and UNDP Strengthen Partnership to Accelerate Sustainable Development
December 2, 2025
Regular (core) resources allow for long-term development strategies, rapid crisis response, and fill resource gaps in underfunded areas, helping deliver impact where and when it is needed most.
New York – The Government of Spain has renewed its partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) through a contribution of USD 7.5 million (EUR 6.5 million) in core resources for 2025. This marks a tenfold increase in Spain’s core funding over the past three years.
At a moment where global cooperation is more crucial than ever, Spain’s increased commitment to UNDP’s global development initiatives underscores its strong belief in multilateralism and its dedication to helping achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
UNDP’s partnership with Spain delivers long-lasting results where they are needed most. Together, we advance the SDGs across Latin America, the Caribbean, Sub-Saharan Africa, and in countries facing acute pressures such as Ukraine and Lebanon. Our work spans inequality, climate action, electoral support, crisis response and human development, building a more peaceful, inclusive and sustainable future for all.
UNDP looks forward to continuing the close collaboration with the Government of Spain and our shared mission for a more equitable and prosperous world, where no one is left behind.

About UNDP’s Core Resources
UNDP relies on contributions from UN Member States, multilateral organizations, NGOs, corporations, financing institutions, and philanthropic groups. Regular (core) resources are the most flexible type of funding that UNDP receives. They allow for long-term development strategies, rapid crisis response, and fill resource gaps in underfunded areas, helping deliver impact where and when it is needed most. Core contributions play a crucial role in strengthening UNDP’s oversight and accountability functions. They ensure that programmes are delivered effectively, efficiently, and transparently. UNDP consistently receives recognition as one of the most transparent international organizations.
