The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg

Donor Rankings, 2022

14th Core Contributions
10th Non Core Contributions
13th Overall Contributions

Donor rankings include UN-to-UN transfers, which are UNFPA's top source of revenue overall.

The Government of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is UNFPA's most generous donor per capita, allocating 8 per cent of its net Official Development Assistance spending to UNFPA in 2022. Luxembourg is a longstanding supporter of UNFPA; the country’s first donation to UNFPA was provided shortly after the Fund’s creation in 1974.

The Government of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg prioritizes contributions that will have the greatest impact for women and girls. Its largest contribution goes to support UNFPA's core functions, which gives greater flexibility for UNFPA to use these resources as needed. It is also a generous contributor to UNFPA's Maternal Health Thematic Fund, UNFPA's flagship programme for improving maternal and newborn health, which helped to avert an estimated 19,200 maternal deaths in 39 countries between 2014 and 2016. In 2021, Luxembourg became the first donor to Equalizer, UNFPA Accelerator Fund, which aims to equalize opportunities for women and girls and ensure rights and choices for all through innovation. 

Specific areas of collaboration with Luxembourg include: prevention of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV; promotion of sexual and reproductive health, including maternal health; abandonment of female genital mutilation; UNFPA’s Campaign to End Fistula; and UNFPA Supplies, which provides modern contraceptives and other reproductive health commodities. 

Mr. Xavier Bettel, Minister for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Affairs
The best investment a country can make is in its people, including in the well-being, health and empowerment of women and girls. Ensuring access to sexual and reproductive health services and rights is fundamental to achieving gender equality and laying the foundation for sustainable development. This is why Luxembourg has been a long-time supporter of strengthening health systems together with UNFPA.
Mr. Xavier Bettel, Minister for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Affairs
