The Trust Fund Management Unit (TFMU) project will ensure the effective management of the Law and Order Trust Fund for Afghanistan (LOTFA), established as a Multi-Partner Trust Fund (MPTF), in accordance with the Trust Fund Terms of Reference (TOR) and UNDP financial rules and regulations. Robust management structures and processes will ensure the fund is managed in a timely, efficient and accountable manner.

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Country Office (CO) as Trust Fund Manager will ensure adequate management and oversight of LOTFA. To this end, a Trust Fund Management Unit (TFMU) will be established to perform the day-to-day responsibilities as Trust Fund Manager. The specific activities undertaken under the TFM project will focus on providing programme and financial management and oversight services. These services will be provided by the Rule of Law and Human Security (ROLHS) Unit and by the Finance Unit and the Fund Financial Fiduciary Management Unit (FFFMU). The ROLHS Unit will be responsible for establishing a fund-wide M&E framework and undertake assessments, surveys and studies to establish a robust empirical evidence-base with quantitative and qualitative data to ensure adaptive and flexible management responses to inform the Trust Fund’s planning, programming and monitoring. The implementation of LOTFA project and activities will be underpinned by a clear LOTFA communications strategy.
