• The Government of Sweden funds UNDP who recognizes WRF as Implementing Partner in carrying out psychosocial support and vocational projects for young women affected by the war in Sierra Leone. Local NGOs also utilize funds from other donors including other governments in carrying out aspects of these projects. The WRF support comes directly from UNDP who received funds for this project primarily from the Government of Sweden.


• UNDP has selected WRF as Implementing Partner in carrying out a pilot and planning program in the development and testing of models for socio-economic reintegration of landmine survivors in Cambodia, Mozambique and Lebanon. Funds were acquired by UNDP from the UN Fund through private sources (Turner Fund).


• Funding from UNMAS supports the implementation and expansion of the Business Advisory Council, a project initiated in Cambodia under the guise of the Socio-economic Reintegration of Landmine Survivors program.


• WRF received a small grant from the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs to allow the Medical Director of the WRF in Uganda to study aspects of rehabilitation in the US and to develop and test a rehabilitation medicine service delivery model for Uganda.


• In-kind contributions have routinely been provided by governments in collaborating with WRF in carrying out its various programs.

Especially significant was the in-kind contribution of the government of Uganda in providing support for the rehabilitation of amputees. In Sierra Leone the government has provided assistance in the vocational training project for adolescent females. Government officials regularly participate in meetings in Cambodia and Mozambique. In Mozambique government officials have consulted and participated in projects particularly concerning the strengthening of governmental agencies and rehabilitation programs.
