Paragraph text

Currently, more than 98 per cent of IOM funding is in the form of voluntary contributions for earmarked projects. Therefore, donor States have an important role in determining the organization's work and priorities. Core funding would allow IOM to initiate projects according to its own priorities, rather than mostly implementing donor-driven undertakings.
