This review is to assess the experiences with Multi-Donor Trust Funds in postcrisis situations, where the focus is on post-conflict cases. It should look at MDTFs administered both by the World Bank and the UN.

The purpose of the study is to identify MDTF arrangements that can better address post-crisis situations. The focus is on cross-cutting issues that have emerged in recent years, such as governing structures, harmonization and coordination, timeframe for establishment, the relationship between the UN system and the World Bank, the impact of donor policies, the role of implementing agencies like NGOs.

The aim is to inform recipient countries, the World Bank, donors, the UN system, other implementing agencies and civil society about cross-cutting issues and challenges associated with the use of MDTFs, as well as other mechanisms and the policy implications and trade-offs of different approaches.

This Final Report is supplemented by a second volume which contains the country case studies reviewed.
