Joint Nordic Evaluation of Contributions to Trust Funds

This evaluation of the joint Nordic contributions to trust funds serves the dual purpose of accountability and learning, with a focus on the latter. It covers Nordic contributions through trust funds managed by the UN Multi-Partner Trust Fund (UNMPTF), the World Bank (WB), and the African Development Bank (AfDB). As the focus was on trust funds supported by at least three Nordic donors (the UNMPTF and the WB), and two trust funds with the AfDB, the evaluation addresses multi-donor trust funds (MDTFs) rather than single-donor trust funds. The portfolio analysis covers the period from 2004 to 2023, while the rest of the evaluation focusses on the past decade, from 2013 to 2023.
