The United Nations agency for Palestine refugees must change how it is funded or else risk collapse, according to UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini. He has some ideas.
As Devex reported in March, the agency, founded in 1949, enjoys widespread political support yet is chronically underfunded.
Once-reliable partners becoming less so, scant long-term grants, and rising need among the people it serves in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria all play a role.
