Steering Committee
Co-chaired by the national Chancellery, the Steering Committee provides general oversight of the Fund and oversees the allocation of non-earmarked resources according to priority areas. Committee members manage investments and approve, as required, the re-allocation of funds to joint programmes based on priorities. The Steering Committee reviews and approves progress reports on the implementation of joint workplans, and signs off on Fund extensions and updates to the terms of reference, as required.
Programme Steering Committee/Technical Board
Comprised of representatives from United Nations organizations and government, donor, and civil society partners, the Board approves joint programme documents, makes programme extension and allocation recommendations, requests fund transfers, and oversees the entire programme implementation process.
Secretariat
The Office of the Resident Coordinator serves as Secretariat for the Fund, providing technical and management support, and acting as the main liaison between the Multi-Partner Trust Fund (MPTF) Office, participating organizations, and other stakeholders. Responsibilities include advising the Steering Committee on strategic priorities and financial allocations; providing operational support; consolidating annual and final narrative reports and sharing them for review; facilitating collaboration and communication between Fund partners, and liaising with the Administrative Agent on financing-related issues.
Administrative Agent
Participating Organizations receive funds through the Administrative Agent, the MPTF Office. The Administrative Agent is responsible for the receipt, administration and management of contributions from donors, disbursement of funds to Participating Organizations, and consolidation and dissemination of progress reports to donors.
Participating Organizations
Programme implementation is the responsibility of Participating Organizations. Each organization is programmatically and financially responsible for resources received.
