Key challenges - MDTFs
Key Challenges
-Shift in focus of MDTF funding from development / transition to humanitarian
-Few multi-year commitments (< 10 %), affecting predictability of funding
-Capitalisation of many MDTFs is below expectations, need to look at thresholds
-Difficulties of many One Funds to mobilise resources at country level
-Flexibility of use of funding for UN Agencies
