Since its establishment in 1995, the UNFSSC has promoted, supported and implemented South-South and triangular cooperation by facilitating voluntary contributions and the strategic allocation of resources based on priorities defined by developing countries. The Fund provides a legal, operational and governance framework for engaging partners, pooling resources, and jointly implementing South-South and triangular cooperation.

The UNOSSC serves as the Fund Manager for the UNFSSC. Contributions to the Fund, in cash or in kind, may be accepted from governments of UN Member States, UN system entities, intergovernmental or non-governmental organizations, or private sources. The contributions received under UNFSSC are allocated and used through initiatives, projects, or dedicated facilities to advance the SDGs through South-South and triangular cooperation, leveraging UN system-wide expertise and support. Depending on the volume of resources received or requests from funding partners, full-fledged subfunds or projects may be created following UNDP procedures, with dedicated governance bodies created to oversee their activities.

Unearmarked contributions to UNFSSC are allocated toward advancing the UNOSSC Strategic Frameworks as endorsed by the UNDP Executive Board. This contributes to the delivery of UNOSSC’s mandate of promoting South-South cooperation on a global and UN system-wide basis, including through the UN System-Wide Strategy on South-South and Triangular Cooperation and its Action Plan.
