Funding Arrangements

The initial funding target of the Peacebuilding Fund is set at $250 million. Voluntary contributions to the PBF are accepted from United Nations Members States, intergovernmental organizations and other sources, including the private sector, following the adoption of the PBF Terms of Reference.

The PBF is a multi-year standing fund that requires continuous income to maintain its operability. A fund-raising drive is initiated if the income level drops below a predetermined minimum amount. Should cash reserves remain above this level, an annual replenishment exercise will be held on the anniversary date of the launch of the PBF.

Under both modalities, the Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme will provide detailed expenditure reports to donors on the use of the PBF so as to provide substantive support to the replenishment request. Donor consultations will be held on an annual basis to apprise financial contributors on the operations of the Fund and to solicit their feedback on the use of funds.

Donors wishing to contribute to the Peacebuilding Fund are required to sign a Letter of Agreement with the Administrative Agent.
