Financial Information

The Emergency Support to Integration & Accommodation – ESTIA programme is co-funded by the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund of the European Union:

In 2020, € 175 million are available. This will allow UNHCR to maintain up to 25,500 places in urban accommodation by the end of the year.

The ESTIA cash assistance scheme aims to exceed 92,000 people in 2020.Refugees and asylum-seekers receive a pre-defined monthly cash grant through a dedicated cash card. This allows them to meet their basic needs as they choose, with dignity, while supporting the local economy

In 2019, €190 million were available. This allowed UNHCR to maintain up to 25,000 places in urban accommodation. The ESTIA cash assistance scheme reached more than 90,000 people in 2019.

In 2017 and 2018 the ESTIA programme was funded by the European Union Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid:

In 2017 a budget of €139 million was available in order to provide 22,000 urban accommodation places and pre-defined monthly cash grants through a dedicated card to refugees and asylum-seekers in Greece.

Special thanks

To major donors to the refugee emergency in Europe – the European Union, the United States of America, and the United Kingdom – as well as to all government donors and private donors for their generous contributions. The financial support provided by donors who have contributed with non-earmarked and broadly earmarked funds, as well as for those who have contributed directly to the situation and the Greece operation allows to provide direct assistance and protection, and help find solutions for refugees and asylum-seekers. In this changing operational context, UNHCR is appealing to donors to provide contributions that can be allocated as flexibly as possible.
