Programme budget and workplan 2024-2025

Overview

The 2024–2025 Programme Budget and Workplan represents the first biennium into TDR’s six-year Strategy for 2024–2029 which, in turn, aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and contributes to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Thirteenth General Programme of Work and global health targets. In this context, it continues to address the same three strategic priority areas: research for implementation, capacity strengthening for health research and engaging with global and local stakeholders for increased impact and sustainability.

The workplan covers a competitive portfolio, with impact on health enhanced by innovative research that also strengthens research capacity in low- and middle-income countries where it is needed most. With 84% of funds channelled into operations (including staff directly linked to operations) in the US$ 50 million budget scenario, TDR delivers real value for money.

Both the Strategy and the proposed budget, which is in line with results-based management principles, reflect TDR’s commitment to contribute to the achievement of the SDGs, with a focus on the following: Goal 3 (good health and well-being); Goal 4 (quality education); Goal 5 (gender equality); Goal 6 (clean water and sanitation); Goal 9 (industry, innovation and infrastructure); Goal 10 (reduced inequality); Goal 11 (sustainable cities and communities); Goal 13 (climate action); and Goal 17 (partnerships to achieve the goal).
