Revenue
WHO has two primary sources of revenue:
assessed contributions (set amounts expected to be paid by member-state governments, scaled by income and population) and
voluntary contributions (other funds provided by member states, plus contributions from private organizations and individuals).
Most assessed contributions are considered “core” funding, meaning they are flexible funds that are often used to cover general expenses and program activities. Voluntary contributions, on the other hand, are often “specified” funds, meaning they are earmarked by donors for certain activities. Although decades ago the majority of WHO’s revenue came from assessed contributions, more recently voluntary contributions have comprised the larger share of WHO’s budget. For example, in the previous budget period (2022-2023) assessed contributions totaled $956.9 million (12.1% of total revenue), voluntary contributions totaled $6.92 billion (87.5% of total revenue), and “other revenue” totaled $28.1 million (0.4%).2
