Resources and tools: For donors

WHO works closely with a broad and trusted range of donors who share our determination to improve global health and fulfil the key goals of the international community.

The need for adequate and predictable funding is a central aim for the Organization, which can only be achieved through partnerships with a range of contributors, including governments, foundations, nongovernmental organizations and others.

The case for investing in improved emergency prevention, preparedness and response is strong. In addition to the millions of lives that can be saved, WHO estimates that for every dollar spent, the return is US$ 8.30.
