IBRD Trust Funds - World Bank

Published purpose

The Mulitdonor Trust Fund, developed at the request of the Government of Indonesia, enabled 15 donors to pool their resources and coordinate their assistance. The fund financed new and ongoing rehabilitation and reconstruction projects, as well as strengthening the capacity of national and local governments and civil society organizations. Foundations for growth were laid through the 23 sub-projects implemented by the fund in the areas of infrastructure and community recovery, capacity rebuilding and sustainable management of the environment. Phase II of Canada's contribution built on the success of the first phase of the fund. In total, Canada contributed $23.4 million (through Phase I and II) to this $655 million fund.
