State and Peace Building Multi Donor Trust Fund

Description

"The overarching goal of the State- and Peace-Building Fund would be to address the needs of state and local governance and peace-building in fragile and conflict-prone and conflict-affected situations. (1) Support measures to improve governance and institutional performance in countries emerging from, in, or at risk of sliding into crisis or arrears. This objective would focus on strengthening, building and rebuilding state effectiveness through institutional strengthening and economic governance interventions. The main priorities for support would be fragile countries and areas of countries in arrears and/or political, economic, or social transition. In addition, the fund could provide smaller, more localized assistance to member countries or areas of member countries that are in political transition or low-intensity conflict and are at risk of conflict. (2) Support the reconstruction and development of countries prone to, in, or emerging from conflict. This objective would place emphasis on post-conflict recovery, bridging the gap between humanitarian relief and development activities, addressing heightened conflict risk and growing tensions, designing more conflict-sensitive development interventions, responding to the targeted needs of vulnerable or conflict-affected populations, and deepening the knowledge base for successful intervention via research."
