MfDR Cooperation Fund
Updated: 6 February 2009

The Managing for Development Results (MfDR) Cooperation Fund was established in March 2004 to support the introduction of MfDR approaches in ADB's developing member countries (DMCs). The Fund--with contributions from Canada, the Netherlands, and Norway--amounts to $2.9 million. It is a multi-donor umbrella facility that allows for further donor contributions.

Examples of country-level initiatives that may be financed under the Fund include:

• introduction of results-based planning and budgeting techniques
• preparation of results-oriented national development plans and strategies, sector plans and roadmaps
• improvement of methods for measuring, monitoring and managing for results
• training of DMC officials on MfDR
