The United Nations centre of expertise on pooled funding
The Multi-Partner Trust Fund Office (MPTFO) provides fund design and administration services to UN entities, national governments, and other partners.
These integrated ‘Administrative Agent’ (AA) services are provided from fund inception to closure, with the MPTFO in an impartial and independent role, separate from implementing entities, ensuring proper fiduciary checks and balances.
The underlying premise of pooled funding is the recognition that some challenges cannot be overcome by individual action, and that sustainable development – and the SDGs – will only be achieved when we work together.
The MPTF Office carefully curates a fund portfolio that cover a broad range of thematic categories. From humanitarian, peace and transition to climate action or development, funds are used to implement initiatives that accelerate SDG progress, generating results on local, regional, global scales.
