Master Data: Country wise Effective Rates of Assessment for Funding UN Peacekeeping Missions

Assessment refers to the amount that the UN General Assembly determines should be assessed to finance the approved appropriation, which is shared among Member States to pay for the expenses of the Organization. Every three years, assessments are made to Member States for Regular budget and Peacekeeping operations. For funding peacekeeping operations, the UN relies on an assessment formula that is based on the regular UN budget assessment scale and includes discounts for certain Member states, which are paid for by the permanent members of the Security Council. In this dataset, the effective rate of assessment for peacekeeping determined for each country has been compiled. The rates of assessment for peacekeeping are based on ten levels of contribution- A to J. These are determined based on the per capita gross national product (GNP) of Member States. For instance, Member states designated as least developed countries are assigned to level J and receive the highest discount percentage of 90%.
