The Czech-UNDP Trust Fund
The Czech Republic was the first "emerging donor” country to start systematic promotion of its transitional experience and ODA activities in cooperation with UNDP. The Czech-UNDP Trust Fund was established in 2000 and was the first example of such a successful cooperation in Central Europe. A new type of development co-operation partnership between the Czech Republic and UNDP was agreed in December 2003 and again a year later in December 2004. UNDP Regional Centre in Bratislava, within the framework of the Emerging Donors Initiative, became fully responsible for the administration, programming, contracting, monitoring and evaluation of the Czech contribution based on the agreed Terms of Reference for the Czech-UNDP Trust Fund. This secures the direct linkage of the Trust Fund activities to UNDP programming as well as targeted and effective use of Czech expertise. The implemented projects are geographically aimed at the countries covered by the UNDP Bratislava Regional Centre: the post-Soviet republics, as well as Balkan countries. UNDP ensures thematic coherence of the supported activities with the bilateral Czech ODA projects to achieve maximum efficiency and effectiveness of the resources used.
