Financing Base Programs

In 2024–2025, financing for base programs reached 92% of the approved Program Budget, with US$643 million available against an approved level of US$700 million. The shortfall was driven primarily by a reduced WHO allocation to the Americas, which was partially offset by increased PAHO voluntary contributions and other sources, reflecting effective resource mobilization and strong donor engagement. While assessed contributions were fully recognized at the start of the biennium, delays in payment created cash flow pressures that were managed through cost‑containment measures, strengthened donor support, and the use of available financial mechanisms to ensure continuity of technical cooperation.
