Where do the funds come from for the financing of ETESP?The Asia Tsunami Fund was established approximately 6 weeks after the December 2004 Tsunami disaster.

Does ADB contribute to the Multi-Donor Fund (MDF) for Aceh and Nias ?ADB joined the MDF soon after it was formally established in May 2005 and contributed $10 million from the Asian Tsunami Fund. ADB is a member of the MDF steering committee.

Are there opportunities to access ETESP funds to restart my business?ETESP supports organizational strengthening and recapitalization of rural banks through the $8.5 million Microfinance Innovation Fund (MIF).
