UNEP continues discussions with a number of other donor Governments, which are considering conclusion of a Partnership Agreement with UNEP. In each case UNEP uses an individual approach taking into consideration the particular interests of donor countries. On the other hand, signing of the agreements does not mean that UNEP becomes a donor driven organization, because all additional support is channeled towards programme priorities approved by the Governing Council. Therefore, Governments are encouraged to enter into a process of consultations with UNEP to determine the best match between their and UNEP's priorities.
