UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, launched Private Sector Partnerships (PSP) activities in Malaysia in 2017 to secure financial contributions from Individual donors as well as Corporates and Foundations. The development of this market will support the global organization in expanding its supporter base, building stable and predictable income stream from the private sector within Malaysia.

Ultimately, UNHCR Malaysia can provide even more support to refugees and other persons of concern. As in other markets PSP operates in, a PSP goal in Malaysia is to establish a sustainable source of funding through monthly donors to be recruited via Digital platform (online). UNHCR operations in
Malaysia, currently benefiting 180,000 refugees and other persons of concern, provides an excellent operational context to present UNHCR to the public in a compelling manner and seek financial support from individual donors in support of UNHCR programs in Malaysia and worldwide.
