Overview
Apart from donor contributions, the other source of funds for the MDTF/JPs, is interest income. The two sources of interest income are: Administrative Agent (Fund)-earned interest, which is the interest earned by the MPTF Office as the Administrative Agent on the balance of funds remaining in the Bank Accounts (maintained by UNDP Treasury); and Agency-earned interest, which is the amount earned by the Participating UN Organizations on the undisbursed balance of the MDTF/JPs.
All interest earned by the Participating UN Organizations is credited to the respective MDTF/JP fund account unless the governing bodies of the said organizations have approved decisions that govern the specific use of interest earned on donor contributions. The same is true of the interest earned by the Administrative Agent, which is credited to the respective MDTF/JP on an annual basis.
