Multi-Donor Trust Funds & Joint Programmes

Non-UN Participating Organizations

Non-UN entities that have similar international character and financial rules and regulations as Participating UN Organizations may be permitted, following a proper assessment of their institutional and financial accountability framework and approval of the Participating UN Organizations, to participate in MDTFs and JPs and receive funds directly from the Administrative Agent (AA). In this case, they will sign a separate Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the AA, and are referred to as Non-UN Participating Organizations.

Non-UN Participating Organizations assume the same programmatic and financial accountability for the funds disbursed to them by the AA as Participating UN Organizations, and are required to fulfill the same terms and conditions as Participating UN Organizations.

Each Non-UN Participating Organization will recover its indirect costs under the same terms and conditions as Participating UN Organizations.

For an overview of the Non-UN Participating Organizations that have signed an MOU with UNDP as AA, go to Participating UN Organizations – all funds. Further information, including on reporting requirements and other terms and conditions, is available by viewing the specific website of each MDTF or by contacting the MDTF Office.
