Special thanks to our donors

At UNSSC, we are extremely grateful for the continuing support that our key donors provided in 2021. Italy, as the host government of our main campus and headquarters, provided essential funding that has enabled UNSSC to grow and better deliver on its mandate. Similarly, Germany’s generous contributions have enabled the UNSSC Knowledge Centre in Bonn to expand its reach and operations in the area of Sustainable Development. The Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency and the Turin-based Compagnia di San Paolo Foundation have been strong supporters, allies and partners with whom we have shared visions, strategies and ideas. The results achieved in 2021 would not have been possible without the support of our key donors.
