Relationships at work and the organizational environment

The UNHCR’s Division of External Relations (DER), which houses the corporate Sector Partnerships Service (PSP), is in charge of securing funding for refugees from the corporate sector. The UNHCR has created a Private Sector Fundraising Strategy 2018–2025, which targets priority fundraising markets and areas and aims to build PSP into a service that can generate $1 billion yearly.

The Private Partnerships and Philanthropy (PPH) Section of the PSP establishes and strengthens long-term alliances with businesses, foundations, and private philanthropists (collectively referred to as “PPH donors”) in order to carry out this strategy and meet the ambitious goals of raising the funds required for UNHCR. Obtaining funding for UNHCR programs and projects will be prioritized, but the work also entails utilizing the capacities of these partnerships beyond funding in order to build long-lasting holistic partnerships bringing various forms of support to UNHCR and to persons of concern, such as advocacy, visibility, expertise, innovation, and knowledge sharing.

Each employee of the UNHCR is responsible for carrying out the tasks outlined in their job description.
