Switzerland is stepping up its international aid efforts with a new funding package for key UN agencies.
The foreign ministry announced on Thursday that CHF 13 million will go to Unicef, supporting global child welfare.
The largest share - CHF 14.5 million - has been allocated to the UN Population Fund, which focuses on family planning, maternal health, and tackling gender-based violence.
These contributions are part of a wider CHF 282 million commitment to international organisations, including the ICRC.
The funding will be drawn from Switzerland’s international cooperation budget for 2025 to 2028.
Officials say the move underscores Geneva’s central role in global diplomacy and aims to ensure targeted, efficient aid delivery in crisis-affected regions.
