RBSA

Regular Budget Supplementary Account

The ILO’s funding base consists of assessed and voluntary contributions. Voluntary contributions include the Regular Budget Supplementary Account (RBSA), which allows development partners to provide un-earmarked core funding to the ILO, increasing the Office’s capacity to deliver and achieve results at country level.

The ILO allocates RBSA funds flexibly when and where they are most needed. As a priority, RBSA resources are allocated to ODA-eligible countries, and are aligned with the results-based framework of the ILO.

In 2022-23, nine governments supported the RBSA with contributions totaling US$ 20.2 million (as at 15 June 2023).

    Regular Budget Supplementary Account (RBSA): Review, March 2020

    30 September 2014

    ILO commissioned this review of its RBSA funding modality to assess its efficiency and impact as well as how it can be expanded. Organised into three parts, the review examines a) the performance of RBSA interventions, based on ILO evaluation report findings, b) the programming guidance and procedures applied to the RBSA, and c) the RBSA strategy, both based on staff interviews and documentary evidence.
