Preface
1. Trust funds have emerged as a mainstream line of the World Bank Group business,supporting a variety of development objectives at the country, regional and global levels. TheBank administers trust funds on behalf of donors to support development-related activities orprograms. Through the use of trust funds, the Bank can mobilize and direct concessional resourcesto key strategic development priorities at country level, and support partnerships with otherdevelopment actors on global or regional challenges. This Directory provides information onselected programs being supported by World Bank Group-administered trust funds. It providesbrief information on the purpose of each program, the date it started, the names of participatingdonors, web sites where they are available, and contact information of Bank staff member(s)having primary responsibility over the program management and/or liaison.
2. This Directory does not comprise all Programs within the World Bank Group. It onlyincludes a selected group of programs that are associated with active and ongoing trust funds thathave recorded, or known intended, pledges of more than US$10 million (ffiRD/IDA programs).These programs are grouped into ffiRD/IDA, IFC and MIGA programs and are listedalphabetically for readers' convenience. In addition, for cross-reference purposes, Schedules 1 and2 of the Table of Contents group the programs both by sector/themes and by region.
3. The list of donors given in each case relates only to those who have signed administrationagreements. Please note that the World Bank only records the immediate funding source as the"donor"; therefore, donors that have channeled support to a program through an umbrella trustfund may not be listed as donors to such programs. For programs engaged in carbon financeactivities, the tenn "participant" is used in place of "donor".
4. For additional information on the these programs, this Directory should be read alongsidethe FY2007 Trust Funds Annual Report, which may be accessed on the web at

Africa Catalytic Growth Fund (ACGF)
The Africa Catalytic Growth Fund (ACGF) is a multi-donor trust fund that seeks to scale up funding for promising interventions in Africa. The fund focuses on a few countries at a time that have the opportunity to make significant progress in showing improved development results toward growth and hard to reach MDGs. It is designed to complement efforts by African leaders and Africa’s international partners to respond to the diversity of experience across the continent within a country-centered framework and without using a formulaic, one size fits all approach. The Fund seeks to identify investments that can achieve results by catalyzing good performance, scaling up ongoing recipient government programs, and leveraging other development partner funding. The Fund became operational in November 2006. It is called catalytic because it identifies opportunities for scaling up what works, for providing just in time support to programs with high potential, and for crowding in additional resources to achieve greater development impact. The ACGF financing is intended to help move an economy to the next level of performance-- a push to higher export-led growth in the case of growing economies or a boost in securing the foundations for growth in the case of post-conflict states. In some cases the ACGF targets hard to reach MDGs. The fund also provides financing for regional investments, crucial to helping Africa's landlocked countries and small, fragmented economies realize their potential. The regional dimension helps to supply public goods that benefit multiple countries or address cross border issues. Start Date (CY): 2006 Donors: Spain, United Kingdom, other donors invited to contribute Contacts:

Asia Sustainable and Alternative Energy Program (ASTAE)
The Asia Alternative Energy Program (ASTAE) focuses on three targets: (i) to increase World Bank Group investments in the provision of access to energy; (ii) to increase the capacity of renewable energy generation; and (iii) to reduce the use of energy through investments in energy efficiency programs. Activities supported by ASTAE include: Technical support to improve the performance and availability of alternative energy systems; design and implementation of innovative investment delivery mechanisms; formulation of alternative energy policies and strengthening of national institutional capacities; training modules in energy efficiency and renewable energy options Start Date (CY): 1992 Donors: Netherlands, Sweden, AusAID

Avian and Human Influenza Facility (AHIF)
The purpose of the AHI Facility is to minimize the risk and socio-economic impact of avian influenza (and other zoonoses) and of possible human pandemic influenza in developing countries lacking adequate domestic resources and capacity to prepare for and combat any onset of the disease. Specifically, it consists of a multi-donor financial framework designed to fill those financing needs and gaps that remain unmet from the loan, credit and grant assistance being made available from other sources. Created at the Beijing International Pledging Conference organized by the Government of the People's Republic of China, the European Commission, and the World Bank in January 2006, AHI Facility expects to achieve its objectives by supporting activities that are: included as a priority in, or as an elaboration and improvement of, Integrated Country Action Plans; endorsed in accordance with predetermined in-country procedures; and for which the relevant World Bank Country Director confirms that other financing sources cannot be made available. Proposals of $3 million or more, and regional or non-country specific will be subject to review by the Advisory Board which is comprised of selected donors and the World Bank, with the involvement of representatives of the United Nations System Influenza Coordination (UNSIC) and World Organization for Animal Health (OiE).

Bank-Netherlands Partnership Program (BNPP)
BNPP was created by the Government of the Netherlands in 1998 in order to establish, in partnership with the World Bank, a coordinated and prioritized approach to the financing of non-country specific activities. The BNPP provides financing for a wide range of knowledge development and advisory services with a cross-country, regional or global scope and has an exclusive focus on the world’s poorest countries. The BNPP was reformed in 2005 to better address emerging development needs. The Network vetting processes have been streamlined, and program size reduced with a focus on fewer key priorities aligned with poverty reduction and the MDGs. The priority areas are: Education; Health (HIV/AIDS, Sexual and Reproductive Health); Trade; Good Governance; the Environment; and Private Sector Development. The aim is to integrate results/dimensions of BNPP activities into overall World Bank activities in low income countries, particularly in the Sub-Saharan African Region. The thematic strategy is to mainstream capacity building and gender in the portfolio.

Belgian Poverty Reduction Partnership (BPRP)
The BPRP is a trust fund managed by the Poverty Reduction and Economic Management (PREM) unit in the Sub-Saharan Africa Vice-Presidency. Funding is provided by Belgium’s Development Cooperation Agency (DGCD). Recently, following the results of an independent evaluation of the BPRP, the donor agreed to continue to fund the program at a level of about $16 million for the next 3 years (2008-2011). The objective of the BPRP is to conduct analytical and capacity building work in order to support countries in their efforts to prepare and implement Poverty Reduction Strategies (PRSPs). The main partner countries benefiting from BPRP activities are Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mali, Niger, Mozambique, and Rwanda, but the program will now be expanded to also cover Benin, Senegal, Tanzania, and Uganda. Part of the funds is also used for sub-regional activities, provided that such activities closely relate to the preparation and implementation of PRSPs. BPRP programs and activities focus on three priorities: (i) scaling-up analytical work in partner countries in order to improve poverty diagnostics, conduct poverty and social impact analysis of major reforms and policies (PSIA), and reinforce the links between the PRSPs and the budget, including work on Medium Term Expenditure Frameworks within the context of the Millennium Development Goals; (ii) scaling-up capacity building initiatives for recipient government staff and ministries, and to some extent also for other stakeholders, with a focus on poverty diagnostic work, PSIAs, and the analysis of the links between PRSPs and the budget; and (iii) facilitating a close collaboration on the ground between the World Bank and the PRSP units in partner countries through the presence of field-based poverty economists hired by the World Bank and funded by the BPRP.

BioCarbon Fund (BioCF)
The BioCF was set up, as part of the World Bank’s suite of carbon funds, to provide carbon finance to demonstrate and test projects that sequester or remove greenhouse gases in forest, agricultural, and other ecosystems. It is designed to help extend carbon finance to a wide range of credible carbon conservation and sequestration activities in the agriculture and forestry sectors, and foster “learning-by-doing” via a public-private initiative that explores and benchmarks the policy, technical

and methodological issues related to credible carbon conservation and sequestration in the agricultural and forestry sectors. It is intended to demonstrate that carbon finance can support the objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Convention to Combat Desertification and other relevant international initiatives and treaties. Since the successful launch of the BioCarbon Fund a new Tranche Two, with the same objectives as the original BioCF Tranche One, became operational in March 2007.

Community Development Carbon Fund (CDCF)
The CDCF was created to extend the benefits of carbon finance to the poorest countries and poor communities in all developing countries, which would otherwise find it difficult to attract carbon finance because of country and financial risk. Contributors to the CDCF support projects that

Knowledge for Change Program (KCP)
The KCP serves as an effective, transparent and efficient vehicle for the pooling of intellectual and financial resources for data collection, analysis, and research supporting poverty reduction and sustainable development. It encourages and facilitates the World Bank's dialogue with partner agencies, developing country clients, and other interested parties. A subsidiary objective is to assist data collection, analysis, and research capacity in the World Bank's client countries. The focus of
20
Directory of Selected Programs Supported by Trust Funds
the KCP is to move quickly into areas and development issues where the creation of new knowledge is likely to assist the formulation of better policies with a greater impact on poverty.
The three trust funds established under the KCP supported activities relate to overarching themes of (i) poverty dynamics and delivery of basic services; (ii) growth/investment climate and trade and integration; and (iii) global public goods. The World Bank is responsible for administering the KCP. However, the KCP partners form a Consultative Group, which meet yearly to discuss the strategic direction of the program, as well as its progress and accomplishments. The current program is set to close on July 31, 2010. However, several donors have indicated an interest in continuing to support Bank research, hence the process of setting up a successor program (KCP II) is now under way. New contributions can therefore be accepted for the KCP II. Start Date (CY): 2001 Donors: ABN/AMRO Bank, Australia, Canada, Denmark, European Commission, Finland, France,

Low Income Countries under Stress (LICUS) Trust Fund
The LICUS Trust Fund was established in 2004. The main focus of this Trust Fund is on countries in non-accrual that cannot access IDA funds for critical early policy and institutional reforms, support to improved social service delivery, elements of harmonized multi-donor approaches, and for promoting the delivery of visible results in support of peace-building efforts. A secondary focus is to provide limited support for high priority activities in active LICUS countries that could not be funded in a timely fashion with regular IDA resources and operations. Grants from the trust fund help countries to implement the reforms necessary for re-engagement with the international community and to address urgent social needs through a coordinated multi-donor approach. It has to date financed work in Cambodia, Central African Republic, Comoros, Guinea Bissau, Haiti, Liberia, Somalia, Sudan, Timor-Leste, Togo, and Zimbabwe. The Trust Fund uses the same operational procedures as the Post Conflict Fund (PCF) and is governed by an expanded PCF LICUS Committee. It is a multi-donor trust fund, financed primarily through transfers from IBRD surplus, but has also received contributions from bilateral donors.

Luxemburg Poverty Reduction Partnership (LPRP)
The LPRP is a new trust fund managed by the Poverty Reduction and Economic Management (PREM) unit in the Sub-Saharan Africa Vice-Presidency. Funding is provided by Luxemburg's Ministry of Finance. The donor has agreed to provide the equivalent of roughly $4 million in funding over 3 years (2008-2010). The design of the LPRP follows closely that of the Belgian Poverty Reduction partnership (BPRP) also managed by the PREM Africa Department, but the list of beneficiary countries is different. The objective of the LPRP is to conduct analytical and capacity building work in order to support countries in their efforts to prepare and implement Poverty Reduction Strategies (PRSPs). The main partner countries benefiting from LPRP activities are Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Mali, Niger, and Senegal. Part of the funds is also used for sub-regional activities, provided that such activities closely relate to the preparation and implementation of PRSPs. LPRP programs and activities focus on three priorities: (i) scaling-up analytical work in partner countries in order to improve poverty diagnostics, conduct poverty and social impact analysis of major reforms and policies (PSIA), and reinforce the links between the PRSPs and the budget, including work on Medium Term Expenditure Frameworks within the context of the Millennium Development Goals; (ii) scaling-up capacity building initiatives for recipient government staff and ministries, and to some extent also for other stakeholders, with a focus on poverty diagnostic work, PSIAs, and the analysis of the links between PRSPs and the budget; and (iii) facilitating a close collaboration on the ground between the World Bank and the PRSP units in partner countries through the presence of field-based poverty economists hired by the World Bank and funded by the LPRP.

Multi–Country Demobilization and Reintegration Program (MDRP)
Recognizing that the interlinked conflicts of the greater Great Lakes region have dramatically undermined the social and economic development of this region, the World Bank and more than 30 international partners established the Multi-country Demobilization and Reintegration Program (MDRP) in support of the demobilization and reintegration (D&R) of an estimated 400,000 combatants in Angola, Burundi, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Uganda. The program aims to contribute to regional peace-building and stabilization, thus laying the groundwork for sustainable development. The MDRP collaborates with national governments and international partner organizations, including United Nations agencies and NGOs. The MDRP’s unique regional and collective approach has allowed for a more comprehensive coverage and has helped ensure greater harmony of approach among key national and international stakeholders as they respond to the multi-sectoral challenges of peace-building and recovery in the region. MDRP activities include support to national D&R programs, as well as special projects that target children and other vulnerable beneficiary populations. MDRP also supports analysis and research on relevant cross-cutting issues such as gender, HIV/AIDS and disabilities as well as tackles regional challenges such as that of combatants on foreign soil particularly in the eastern DRC.

Nile Basin Initiative (NBI)
The Nile Basin Initiative is a regional partnership within which countries of the Nile basin have united in common pursuit of the long-term development and management of Nile waters. Formally launched in February 1999 by the Council of Ministers of Water Affairs of the Nile Basin States (Nile-COM), the initiative includes all Nile countries and provides an agreed basin-wide forum to fight poverty and promote socioeconomic development in the region. The initiative is guided by a shared vision: to achieve sustainable socioeconomic development through the equitable utilization of, and benefit from, the common Nile Basin water resources. The NBI is supported by 17 bilateral and multilateral donors, in an unusually strong development partnership which shares the vision of the riparian states. From a very low base, the NBI has made substantial progress since its launch in 1999. NBI has moved in a significant way to build a (transitional) regional institution, implement a basin-wide capacity building program (the Shared Vision Program), and deliver investments at the sub-basin level (Subsidiary Action Programs). Both the subsidiary action programs (ENSAP -

Post Conflict Fund Program (PCFP)
The Post-Conflict Fund (PCF), established in 1998, aims to support innovative operational approaches that respond to the needs of countries affected by or emerging from conflict. The PCF supports projects that allow the World Bank to partner with international and national actors to ensure early, quick and flexible engagement, where the World Bank is otherwise constrained by normal Bank procedures. In addition, the PCF promotes institutional learning and mainstreaming of new operational approaches to conflict within the World Bank and with its partners, with the broad objective of mitigating the impact and recurrence of violent conflict and improving the effectiveness of conflict aid. Typically, the PCF finances projects in areas such as the restoration of livelihoods and access to basic services, reconstruction of social infrastructure, capacity and institution building, and addressing the needs of vulnerable groups. For example, the PCF has recently approved grants in innovative areas including: (i) in Kosovo, a PCF grant has been approved to support preparation and implementation of new decentralization arrangements, for Kosovo’s stability and economic development; (ii) in Thailand, a grant has been awarded to piloting community approaches in three Southernmost Provinces that are affected by conflict; (iii) in Syria, a grant will support a socio-economic impact assessment of displaced Iraqis to urgently address the lack of quantitative and qualitative analysis of the impact of the refugees on their host country; and (IV) in Cote d'Ivoire, a grant was approved to support protection of populations from gender-based violence.

Programs for Onchocerciasis Control (OCP/APOC)
The Onchocerciasis Control Program (OCP) for West Africa began operations in seven countries, and later extended to eleven, with the objective of eliminating Onchocerciasis as a public health problem throughout that West African sub-region. Having largely met its goals, OCP was closed in 2002. The African Program for Onchocerciasis Control (APOC) was launched in December 1995, to cover all remaining endemic countries in Africa. The objective of APOC is to eliminate the disease throughout the continent of Africa. Following the 2005 external evaluation, APOC partners have agreed to extend the closing date of the program to 2015 (instead of 2010 as initially planned) to allow all projects in post conflict countries (which have had a slow start) to be brought to a successful conclusion. During the extension period, a number of shifts will be made including further decentralization of control operations to countries; strengthening of the capacity of national health systems to sustain the achievements of the program; promotion of co implementation of health interventions using the community directed intervention approach as a vehicle to provide multiple health benefits to remote communities; and support to certain OCP countries such as Sierra Leone where control operations were halted by the decade-long civil war . APOC is partnering with endemic countries’ governments to increase domestic funding to Oncho control activities. Linkages with World Bank have begun to accelerate country mainstreaming efforts. A formal collaboration mechanism has been also established between APOC and TDR and Wyeth Pharmaceutical to accelerate the development of a macrofilaricide drug.

Sudan Multi-Donor Trust Funds (SMDTF)
Following the Comprehensive Peace Agreement on January 9, 2005, the World Bank and the United Nations conducted a Joint Assessment Mission to determine the needs of Sudan over the six-year Interim Period and to develop a framework for reconstruction and development. Two Multi Donor Trust Funds (MDTFs) (one each to support the needs of the National and Southern Sudan) were established in April, 2005. Donors had pledged $544.6 million ($213.4 million and $331.2 million, respectively) in Oslo; subsequently additional pledges have been made raising the total to USD611 million. As of today, the combined contribution to the 2 Sudan MDTF is $585 million ($208m for the National MDTF and $377m for the Southern Sudan MDTF. The objectives of the MDTFs are to deliver peace dividends while strengthening or building government capacity for implementing sustainable development in the medium- to long-term in the post-conflict setting of Sudan. These trust funds are designed to provide a vehicle for donors to pool resources and coordinate support to fund the overall reconstruction and development of Sudan during the interim period (2005-2011) with a focus on pro-peace and pro-poor investments for recovery and longer-term development activities to support Sudan's reaching of the MDGs. The trust funds primarily finance programs that comply with the JAM objectives and are included in the budget. For most projects the Government contributes $2 for each $1 from financed by the MDTFs.

To respond to the unforeseen emergency needs following the summer 2006 hostilities, and to assist Lebanon in a time of great need, the World Bank’s Board of Directors approved the creation of the TFL with a transfer of US$70 million from IBRD in September 2006. The rehabilitation of damaged infrastructure, support to groups affected by the hostilities, and jump-starting the economy were identified as areas of distinct comparative advantage that the TFL would finance. With the presentation of the Government’s comprehensive reform and recovery program at the Paris III conference in January 2007, early reform implementation has also become a focus of TFL funds. To date projects in municipal infrastructure and water rehabilitation have been approved, as well as reform implementation support in the electricity and social safety sectors. IFC is also using some

Trust Fund for Gaza and West Bank (TFGWB)
Since the West Bank and Gaza is not a sovereign state, it cannot apply for membership of the IMF or the World Bank Group, and is therefore not eligible for the sources of financing normally available to member countries. To overcome these legal and practical obstacles, the World Bank’s Board set up the TFGWB in 1993, financed by a transfer from Bank surplus/net income. To date, the TFGWB has been replenished six times for a total allocation of US$510 million, the most recent in December 2006. Funds from the TFGWB are provided to the Palestinian Authority (PA) on regular IDA terms, but since 2002, due to the deteriorating fiscal situation of the PA, allocations have been made on a grant basis.

The objective of AIGF is to help jump-start private investment flows into Afghanistan. AIGF is supported by an IDA Credit and ADB concessional loan to the Government of Afghanistan, both in the amount of US$5 million equivalent, respectively, and a grant from the UK Government (DFID) in the amount of £1 million, as well as €0.5 million in capacity support from Germany’s GTZ. This “first loss” base capital will facilitate the mobilization of a larger amount of insurance capacity from MIGA, ADB and other public and private insurers for investment into Afghanistan. The total amount of insurance capacity for private investors that MIGA, as administrator, intends to mobilize is $60 million. In February 2006 the facility issued its first guarantees totaling €0.9 million for French investor Dagris with respect to a cotton project in Northern Afghanistan.
