At UNSSC, we are extremely grateful for the continuing support that our key donors provided in
2020.
Italy, as the host government of our main campus and headquarters, provided essential funding
that has enabled UNSSC to grow and better deliver on its mandate. Similarly, Germany’s generous
contributions have enabled the UNSSC Knowledge Centre in Bonn to expand its reach and operations
in the area of Sustainable Development. The Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency
and the Turin-based Compagnia di San Paolo Foundation have been strong supporters, allies and
partners with whom we have shared visions, strategies and ideas.
The results achieved in 2020 would not have been possible without the support of and
collaboration with our key donors
