Description
The Multi Donor Trust Fund is established in response to the devastating consequences of the tsunami that hit the coasts of many Southeast Asian countries in December 2004, and aims to contribute to the development of a multi-level early warning system for the Indian Ocean and the Southeast Asian countries, including the small insular developing states (SIDS) of South West Pacific. The Multi Donor Trust Fund is administered and managed by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UN-ESCAP). In order to provide a better response to the new needs and to contribute to the development of a more efficient system, the Trust Fund has evolved in an integrated early warning mechanism with the objective of consolidating and training a network of local structures interconnected and linked to sub-regional and regional platforms. Such mechanism adopts a multihazard management structure, in line with the principles of efficacy and people centered approach, and includes a climate and disaster preparedness component. Furthermore, the Fund includes an Advisory Council with a two-year mandate, composed by the representatives of ESCAP and by those donor countries whose contribution is equal to at least the 20% of the remaining balance of the Fund, equal to USD 1,310,205.00. The members of the Advisory Council guide the strategy of the initiative, and they monitor and evaluate the results.
