Dear Partner,
The vulnerability of the poorest and most marginalized children has been palpable in 2014. Worsening
conflicts across the world saw as many as 15 million children affected – including those internally
displaced or living as refugees. The Ebola outbreak posed an unprecedented threat to children’s health and
well-being and left thousands of children orphaned and an estimated five million out of school.
Together with partners, UNICEF assisted millions of children affected by conflict and natural disasters. In
response to the Ebola outbreak, the organization mounted one of its most complex responses, distributing
5,500 metric tons in essential supplies to Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. More than 15,000 children who
lost one or both parents because of the outbreak received family support and placement services, and more
than 36,000 children were reached with psychosocial support.
As we take stock of the achievements and unmet challenges of the Millennium Development Goals, the
international community is cognizant of the increasing pressure to respond to these complex emergencies
and to find ways to support communities and nations in charting a more resilient and sustainable path
forward. The global “post-2015” agenda will try to address these difficult challenges. It is the result of an
inclusive process involving people from all over the world. The sustainable development goals (SDGs) will
present all partners – governments, private sector, civil society, media and youth – with a framework for
collective action on issues that matter to children.
Being fit for purpose to deliver on the commitment for children means that UNICEF’s mission is adequately
funded and that every dollar of our shared investment is maximized. The organization continues to put the
highest priority on accountability, efficiency, transparency and risk management throughout our work. At
the country level, UNICEF is working with sister agencies to develop strategic frameworks to implement
the “Delivering as One” standard operating procedures, particularly in the areas of harmonized approaches
to cash transfers, procurement and security operations.
UNICEF’s overall revenue in 2014 reached an unprecedented $5.2 billion, and flexible Regular Resources
increased by 5% (or $61 million) compared with 2013. We want to express our gratitude to all our
Resource Partners for these milestones and the commitment to our joint work. At the same time, Regular
Resources have continued to decline as a percentage of UNICEF’s total revenue since the start of the new
millennium, from 50% in 2000 to 26% in 2014. When partners choose to earmark funds, thematic funding
pools are UNICEF’s preferred approach, given their flexibility and alignment to the Strategic Plan priorities.
Thematic funding fell in 2014 by 5%. For a more agile UNICEF, it is critical that we redouble efforts with
our partners to build a more flexible and broader funding base.
In order to deliver on the SDGs, we look forward to the continued commitment of our partners to this joint
venture for children. We must be clear that investing in children’s rights is not “just” the right thing to do,
it is also the smartest investment we can make for equitable and sustainable development. It will
determine whether the “post-2015” promise becomes a reality.

Resources by type of funding, 2005-14
Both Regular and Other Resources increased in 2014.
However, the share of Regular Resources remained constant
at 26% of all revenue. This poses a challenge when trying
to achieve results for the most marginalized and vulnerable
populations as outlined in the Strategic Plan.
Regular Resources increased by 5% from $1,265 million in
2013 to $1,326 million in 2014. The increase came primarily
from Government resource partners. Other Resources
increased by 7% from $3,588 million to $3,843 million.

2014 Contributions by Funding Type
1 Limits on comparability: Effective 1 January 2012, UNICEF adopted the International Public Sector Financial Reporting Standards (IPSAS) to replace the United Nations
System Accounting Standards (UNSAS), which had been in place since 1993.Through a General Assembly resolution, UN Members States requested all UN bodies to
adopt IPSAS in order to enhance the quality of financial reporting by ensuring improved transparency, accountability, and governance.The change in accounting policy
does not allow direct comparisons between figures from 2012 onward, and figures prior to 2012, as it has implications for the timing of revenue recognition.

Regular Resources deliver results
In 2014, the lives of children in South
Sudan were shaped by the grave
consequences of the conflict which broke
out in December 2013. By March 2014,
800,000 people were internally displaced.
Regular Resources enabled UNICEF to
immediately respond by bringing in the
critical supplies and human resources
while other funding was being mobilized.
A Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM)
carried out 34 missions in 2014, in
the conflict-affected states of Jonglei,
Unity and Upper Nile, reaching 603,000
people including 127,000 children under
five. The RRM is an example of equity
in humanitarian action, supporting
particularly disadvantaged groups
in areas which are hard to reach,
contested or under opposition control.
Results:
• 128,000 children under 15 vaccinated
against measles and 98,500 against polio
• 78,000 children under five screened
for malnutrition and 2,800 severe acute
malnutrition cases admitted
• 253,600 people received water, sanitation
and hygiene supplies, and 72,700 people
accessed safe drinking water
• 2,900 unaccompanied, separated
and missing children registered and
tracing commenced, and 3,300 children
reached critical child protection services
• 30,000 children benefited from access
to education
Excerpt from Executive Director Anthony Lake’s
statement to the UNICEF Executive Board
“Now, more than ever, a substantial, predictable and growing
flow of Regular Resources is essential to UNICEF’s work. This is
especially so as we contend with a growing list of emergencies
– from the effects of multiple conflicts … to Ebola … to the
devastation wrought by unexpected natural disasters.
Regular Resources support our Emergency Programme Fund,
which enables us to act immediately during the crucial first
moments of a crisis … and to prevent or at least limit the impact
of humanitarian emergencies.
Regular Resources help us fill important funding gaps, providing
UNICEF the flexibility to reach the children in greatest need in
communities that are out of the public spotlight, and deliver
critical services to the most disadvantaged children and families.
For example, in Chobe district in Botswana, a survey found that
a lack of trained midwives was preventing newborns and their
mothers from receiving the antenatal care they need. Regular
Resources helped us increase the reach of this often lifesaving
care from 28% to 55%.
Unrestricted Regular Resources also give us more flexibility to be
innovative – in our management, and in programme work across
our organization, especially in the field.
Regular Resources are supporting some of our most promising
innovations – from our Rapid Family Tracing and Reunification
initiative, which uses mobile technology to bring families back
together in crises, to U-Report, which uses the same mobile
technology to help hundreds of thousands of youth communicate
directly with governments and each other.
Regular Resources must be at the heart of our work to continue
translating UNICEF’s Strategic Plan into concrete results for
children … as we contribute to the post-2015 agenda … and, of
central importance, as we manage for results.
We know how much these resources mean to the children left
behind in the march of progress: Their futures, and the futures of
their societies, depend on that support.”

Total revenue by type of Resource Partner, 2014
The total revenue to UNICEF increased by 6.5% (or $316
million) from $4,853 million in 2013 to $5,169 million in 2014.
Public sector revenue constituted 71% (or $3,679 million)
of the total revenue, an increase of 11% (or $351 million)
compared to 2013. This was made up mostly
by contributions from Government and
Inter-Organizational partners.
Private sector revenue was $1,396 million or 27% of the total
UNICEF revenue, representing a decrease of 3% (or $40
million) over 2013 levels. This decrease was largely driven
from Non-Governmental Organizations1
.
Other revenue, including income from interest, procurement
services and other sources, was $94 million or 2% of total
UNICEF revenue.
1 Non-Governmental Organizations include Foundations, Global Programme Partnerships and international Non-Governmental Organizations (for complete list, see page 20).

Regular Resources by type of Resource Partner, 2014
Regular Resources are the most flexible
contribution for UNICEF and crucial for
the organization to be able to implement
its Strategic Plan. Steady and predictable
Regular Resources allow UNICEF to react
quickly to new challenges - including
onset emergencies - as well as to provide
seed capital with which to develop
innovative approaches and leverage
resources in delivering programmes.
The total amount of Regular Resources
to UNICEF was $1,326 million in 2014 –
an increase of 5% from $1,265 million in
2013. Of this, $660 million or 50% was
contributed by Government Resource
Partners, and $572 million or 43% was
contributed by the private sector. The
remaining 7% included income from
interest, procurement services and
other sources.
The top 20 Resource Partners to Regular Resources contributed
$1,014 million or 76% of the total Regular Resources to UNICEF.
Of these Resource Partners, 56% were Government Resource
Partners, while the remaining 44% were private sector partners.
In 2014, the top five Resource Partners to Regular Resources were
the Governments of the United States of America, Sweden, and
Norway; and the National Committees of Japan and the Republic of
Korea. These five Resource Partners contributed almost 45% of the
Regular Resources of the top 20 Resource Partners.
1 Inter-governmental Organizations include: Asian Development Bank, European Commission, UNITAID and West African Health Organization.
2 Revenue from Private Sector includes foundations, global funds, National Committees, Non-Governmental Organizations and country office private sector fundraising.

Thematic revenue, 2014
Thematic funds are soft-earmarked pooled funds
categorized as Other Resources (OR) that directly support
the achievement of key results aligned to the Strategic
Plan. These funds allow long-term planning, sustainability
and savings in transaction costs for both UNICEF and its
Resource Partners. In 2014, overall thematic funding for
the seven outcome areas of the Strategic Plan was $202
million, and thematic humanitarian was $139 million. No
thematic funding was received towards the Gender pool.
This represents an overall decline in thematic funding of 5%
versus 2013. Thematic funding accounted for less than 9%
of total earmarked Other Resources (OR) funding.
The top 10 Resource Partners to thematic funding
contributed $265 million or 78% of the total thematic
revenue to UNICEF. These Resource Partners provided 87%
of total thematic funding for the Strategic Plan outcome
areas, and 65% of humanitarian thematic funding.
The top three Resource Partners comprised the
Governments of Norway and Sweden, and the National
Committee of the United Kingdom. These three partners
contributed 62% of the total contributions of the top 10
Resource Partners to thematic funding.

Glossary
Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) – An
emergency fund administered by the United Nations
Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs
(UNOCHA), from which UN agencies can receive
advances for financing emergency operations.
Delivering as One (DaO) – The UN launched the
“Delivering as One” pilot initiative in 2007 to respond
to the challenges of a changing world and test how
the UN family can provide development assistance in a
more coordinated way. This effort is mostly led by the
United Nations Development Group, a group of 32 United
Nations specialized agencies working on International
Development issues.
Inter-organizational Arrangements – These include,
among others, contributions received through CERF,
MDTF, UNAIDS, UNDG, UNESCO, UNFPA, UNTFHS,
WHO, and the World Bank. Funding from these sources
is mostly directed to humanitarian responses and includes,
among other, income from various pooled funding
mechanisms, such as grants from the UNOCHA managed
CERF (see above) and multi-partner trust
fund contributions.
International Public Sector Accounting Standards
(IPSAS) – UNICEF adopted IPSAS effective 1 January
2012. IPSAS are credible, high-quality, independently
produced accounting standards, underpinned by a strong
due process and supported by governments, professional
accounting bodies, and international organizations. These
standards are specifically tailored to the public sector and
integral to UN management reform.
Multi-Donor Trust Funds (MDTFs) – The MDTF is
a funding mechanism which: a) receives and pools
contributions from more than one partner; b) holds the funds
in trust; c) allocates funds through a designated governance
structure; and d) disburses funds through an Administrative
Agent/Fund Manager to a number of recipients.
Other Resources (OR) – Earmarked contributions for
programmes; these are supplementary to the contributions
in unrestricted Regular Resources and are made for a
specific purpose such as an emergency response or a
specific programme in a country/region.
Other Resources Emergency (ORE) – ORE are funds
specifically provided by Resource Partners for UNICEF’s
humanitarian action and post-crisis recovery activities.
In addition to UNICEF’s traditional resource partners,
important sources of funding for ORE are the inter-
organizational arrangements including the CERF and the
MDTFs. Funding for ORE is raised through the UNICEF
Humanitarian Action for Children (HAC), Flash Appeals,
the UN consolidated Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO)
and the UN Strategic Response Plan (SRP).
Other Resources Regular (ORR) – ORR are funds
for specific, non-emergency programme purposes and
strategic priorities. ORR allow UNICEF to implement
the specific projects at global, regional, and country
levels in support of the approved country programmes.
The effective use of increases in ORR depends on
commensurate increases in the organization’s Regular
Resource base. The ORR that UNICEF can use most
strategically, are those that are flexible both in their
duration, such as thematic funds.
Private Sector Revenue – Revenue received from a
grouping of Resource Partners that includes UNICEF’s
National Committees, Non-Governmental Organizations,
foundations, corporate resource partners, and individuals.
Public Sector Revenue – Revenue received from a
grouping of Resource Partners and sources of funding that
includes Governments, Inter-governmental bodies, and
Inter-organizational Arrangements.
Regular Resources (RR) – RR are the un-earmarked
funds that help sustain UNICEF programmes and enable
UNICEF to carry out its mission to improve the lives of the
most disadvantaged children. They include, mainly, income
from voluntary annual contributions from governments and
un-earmarked funds contributed by National Committees –
which mobilize resources through fundraising appeals and
ongoing relationships with individuals, civil society groups,
companies, and foundations as well as through their card
and gift operations.
Strategic Plan (SP) – The SP 2014-17 outlines the
organizational priorities, key results areas and targets
across the seven outcome areas for programming and
two cross-cutting areas, Humanitarian Action and Gender.
The seven outcome areas are Health; HIV and AIDS;
Water, Sanitation and Hygiene; Nutrition; Education; Child
Protection; and Social Inclusion.
Thematic Funding – Thematic funds are contributions
that partners earmark geographically (global, regional, or
country) for one of the Strategic Plan outcome areas or
Gender or Humanitarian action.
UNICEF National Committee (NC) – There are 35
UNICEF NCs throughout the industrialized world. They
are registered non-profit structures, mostly categorized
as non-governmental entities established according to
national laws. Committees play a key role in advocating
for children’s rights and are instrumental in mobilizing
resources for UNICEF’s work.
