The Andorran government has allocated €40,000 in voluntary contributions to international organisations supporting peacebuilding, security, human rights, and sustainable development.
The funds are split among the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), and the United Nations Office in Vienna. Andorra, a state party to the OPCW since 2003, will contribute €10,000 to the organisation, divided equally: €5,000 to the Chemical Weapons Victims Fund for victim support, and €5,000 to the Training Fund for specialised capacity-building.
The OSCE receives the biggest portion, €20,000, to fund initiatives tackling climate change's security effects, youth roles in peace processes, and gender equality efforts.
An additional €10,000 goes to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime's Fund for Victims of Human Trafficking. The programme aids trafficking victims, prioritising children and women.
Government officials frame these donations within Andorra's international cooperation policy, reinforcing the principality's dedication to multilateralism, security, rights protection, and aid for vulnerable groups. No specific disbursement schedule was detailed.
