Item 12 of the provisional agenda

The integrated budget for 2022–2025 contains the resources that will contribute to the achievement of the UNICEF Integrated Results and Resources Framework.
As an integral part of the UNICEF Strategic Plan, 2022–2025 (E/ICEF/2021/25), the integrated budget, and its annex (E/ICEF/2021/AB/L.6/Add.1) should also be considered in conjunction with the Strategic Plan and its annexes.

The total projected income for 2022–2025 is $25.9 billion, representing a 4 per cent decline in growth in 2022 followed by 3 per cent growth from 2023 onwards, and is based on consultations with major donors, including Governments, private sector partners and National Committees for UNICEF. Demonstration of results and value for money, as well as continued investment in resource mobilization and concerted outreach, will help to drive this projected growth in income, which will be prioritized for use in country programmes of cooperation and contribute to improved outcomes and results for children.

Of the $23.3 billion available for programmes during 2022–2025, UNICEF is proposing to channel $21.6 billion, or 93 per cent, through country programmes. This is $0.4 billion, or 2 per cent higher than the 2018–2021 midterm review of the integrated budget.

From the resources available for programmes, UNICEF is proposing a budget from regular resources (RR) of $235.0 million, and other resources (OR) of $1,446.7 million, subject to the receipt of contributions to OR, for the Global and Regional Programme during 2022–2025.
