Multi-Year Appeal

Investing in prevention, diplomacy and peacebuilding

The Multi-Year Appeal (MYA) is DPPA’s primary extrabudgetary funding mechanism, enabling the Department to respond rapidly to emerging crises, support political solutions to conflict and invest in long-term prevention and peacebuilding.

Through flexible voluntary contributions from Member States, the MYA strengthens DPPA’s ability to deploy expertise, support peace processes and work with partners around the world.

By complementing the United Nations regular budget, the MYA helps turn diplomatic opportunities into action.
