Established in 1996 by a UN General Assembly Resolution, the UN Trust Fund to EVAW is now administered by UN WOMEN. In 2008, the UN Trust Fund to EVAW began awarding grants on a competitive basis for Joint Programmes submitted by UN Country Teams. The UN Trust Fund to EVAW is currently supporting eleven UNCT Joint Programmes using the pass- through funding modality, and the Multi-Partner Trust Fund Office (MPTF Office) of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is serving as the Administrative Agent for six of these Joint Programmes. These six Joint Programmes are implemented in Bosnia and Herzegovina, China, the Former Yugoslav Republic of (FYR) Macedonia, Panama, Serbia and Uruguay. The MPTF Office receives, administers and manages contributions from the UN Trust Fund to EVAW, and disburses these funds to the Participating UN Organizations in accordance with the decisions of the Steering Committee. The Administrative Agent receives and consolidates the Joint Programme annual reports and submits it to the Steering Committee. Transparency and accountability of this UN Trust Fund operation is made available through the UN Trust Fund to EVAW web site at the MPTF Office GATEWAY at http://mptf.undp.org/factsheet/fund/WAV00.
