At the end of fiscal year 2011, the total volume of funds held in trust reached US$29.1 billion, an increase of more than 10 percent from the prior year. Through a diverse set of programs, the World Bank Group is able to engage in a broad array of country, regional and global partnerships, involving traditional donor countries as well as new development partners, foundations, civil society organizations, and private sector donors. Programs financed by trust funds support country-level development projects, urgent responses to emergency situations, knowledge initiatives, advisory services, and collective actions across countries on global priorities such as climate change, public health and food security. A num- ber of programs target innovative activities, allowing the World Bank and its clients to test new approaches towards economic development which, if successful, can be mainstreamed into the World Bank’s regular financing operations. As in previous years, this edition of the Directory of Programs Supported by Trust Funds supplements the information contained in the 2011 Trust Fund Annual Report, by profiling the varied activities of individual programs supported by trust funds administered by the World Bank Group. The intention is to offer the reader concise information on the history, rationale, objec- tives, financial highlights, and achievements of a given program. Each program’s focus is illus- trated by listing the associated sector and theme as well as the particular geographic coverage of the supported development activities. The Directory is organized in accordance with the World Bank Vice-Presidential Unit responsible for managing or administering the program. Furthermore, in the case of IFC and MIGA, programs are organized and listed by development activity. The 2011 Trust Fund Annual Report and this Directory of Programs can be accessed on-line at the World Bank’s website at http://www.worldbank.org/cfp. Queries or feedback on this docu- ment may be addressed to donorqueries@worldbank.org, or to trustfundsinq@worldbank.org (the latter being primarily for queries within the World Bank Group). We will highly appreciate your feedback and suggestions on how to further enhance the presentation and content of this document. Michael F. W.
