ICTD Thematic Trust Fund

ICT Trust Fund (English | French | Spanish)

Given the urgent demands and needs of programme countries for formulating, implementing and monitoring national ICT for development strategies, additional resources will be required if UNDP is to play appropriate policy guidance, capacity development, implementation and facilitation roles. UNDP is therefore establishing a Thematic Trust Fund (TTF) for ICT for development, as a flexible instrument to enhance its response to countries' requests for assistance.

The Trust Fund, which will be used to fund global, regional and national programmes, operates within the framework of UNDP's Global Cooperation Framework (GCF). The GCF provides a range of services to governments, civil society and UN Country Teams in the area of ICT for development including global advocacy and analysis, partnership building, promotion of strategic frameworks and support for the implementation of comprehensive programmes in ICT for development.
