Contribute to the Trust Fund
Who can contribute to the Trust Fund?
Pledges to the Trust Fund can be made from Governments, inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations, private institutions or individuals.
Procedure to make pledges and transfer funds
The making of a pledge and its acceptance are to be recorded in an exchange of letters (letter of commitment or Note Verbale) between the UN and the contributing party, or, if deemed appropriate, in a more formal agreement.
Use of voluntary financial contributions
- Contributions will be received preferably as “un-earmarked funds”, meaning the funds would not be received with specific direction for a particular project, service provider or geographical area.
- Contributions shall preferably be used as “pooled funds” meaning in conjunction with other funds and with no specific date by which the funds will be utilized.
- All cost plans for the Trust Fund, including those for operational activities, include provision for programme support costs at the rate of 13% of the total annual expenditures.
- The Department of Management Strategy, Policy and Compliance, as the Trust Fund Implementing Office, will issue an annual narrative and financial report on the overall use of the Trust Fund, rather than individual contributor reports.
Flexibility on arrangements can be discussed with the Trust Fund Implementing Office.
