Abstract
Abstract Chapter 7 covers the culmination of the UN’s transformation as the use of earmarked funding increases from the 1990s onward, sidelining multilateralism within the United Nations. It documents the late-breaking realization across the UN system of the costs associated with an increased reliance on earmarked funding. These include a distortion of program priorities, and an inability to comply with need-based allocation, alongside concerns about governance. The chapter summarizes findings with regard to uncoordinated, subterranean transformations, and derives lessons for the study of international institutional development. In addition, it offers implications for how we think about UN agencies—and other international organizations that are heavily reliant on earmarked funding—as actors in world politics. Finally, it evaluates the prospects of efforts to roll back earmarked funding, including the UN Funding Compact.
