In 2024, Liechtenstein is supporting the “Women's Peace and Humanitarian Fund” (WPHF) with CHF 50,000. The aim of the fund is to promote the participation of local women and girls in peacemaking work. Launched by UN organizations, the WPHF focuses on the imple-mentation of projects by local women in conflict situations and humanitarian crises.
The WPHF currently supports 58 ongoing projects, of which 11 are transnational and 47 are country-specific. The WPHF remains an important instrument for supporting local actors, as 72% of partners are active at sub-national and local level. To date, the WPHF has supported over 700 civil society organizations. The WPHF has reached 3.5 million people directly and 17 million indirectly. Since the fund was established in 2016, the WPHF has generated a total of USD 164 million.
