Grant Description

In 2016, the Chinese Government pledged to contribute $200 million to the United Nations over a ten year period.

The United Nations Peace and Development Trust Fund (UNPDF) was established to channel these earmarked funds to specific projects in coordination with the UN.

The UNPDF is divided into two sub-funds: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Sub-Fund and The Secretary-General's Peace and Security Sub-Fund.

Approved in 2016 and implemented between March 2017 to December 2017, USD $526,440 was allocated from the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Sub-Fund to support the education of Afghan refugee children in Pakistan.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) implemented the program along with collaborating partners UNICEF, UNESCO and local authorities.

UNHCR enrolled 53,983 children into primary school and all were provided with textbooks and stationary items. 1,163 primary level teachers were provided a stipend during the project period.

The Secretariat of the Refugees Affected and hosting Areas (RAHA) Skills Development Programe provided vocational training, tool kits, and certificates to 735 youth to support income generation.
