developments in UNDP positioning under the current country programme, the financial sustainability of UNDP programmes is at risk, with most of its programme expenditure dependent on its management of the Global Fund grant for malaria. The funding environment in Chad has been limited, and predominantly oriented towards humanitarian interventions (see section 1.4). Humanitarian funding represented about 30 percent of all ODA disbursement to Chad in 2018, and 45 percent of ODA disbursed through multilateral agencies, based on a comparison of ODA data disbursed overall and funding mobilized through the humanitarian plan.161 In addition, the main ODA donors to Chad implement interventions directly.162 While the actual window for resource mobilization cannot be accurately estimated, the predominance of humanitarian financing, in conjunction with the overall share of ODA disbursed bilaterally, typically presents a challenging funding environment for UNDP, whose projects depend in large part on external financing. 161 162
Trends in funding sources for the UNDP programme since 2012 show a sharp increase in levels of expenditure from 2015 onwards, mainly due to increased Global Fund financing channelled through UNDP. Global Fund financing represented 61 percent of total programme expenditure recorded between 2017 and 2020, increasing from 45 percent during the 2012-2016 country programme period. Expenditure levels between 2017 and 2020 amounted to only $46.9 million for all other outcomes of the country programme. Funding trends since 2012 highlight an overall reduction in both the volume and share of resources mobilized from bilateral and multilateral sources, accounting for approximately 14 percent of total programme expenditure. Overall, UNDP core resources have been the main source of funding during the present country programme (15.4 percent) and its predecessor (20 percent). Reflecting the difficult economic situation of the country, the level and share of local cost sharing in total programme expenditure reduced by over 30 percent when compared to the programming cycles of 2012-2016
Based on comparison of ODA data from OECD and UNOCHA Humanitarian financial services. The five main ODA providers in Chad (USA, France, World Bank, Germany, African Development Bank) directly implement programmes through respective national agencies.
