Funding Situation

The STDF is funded through voluntary contributions to the Trust Fund established under the financial regulations and rules of the WTO. The STDF Medium Term Strategy, adopted in December 2006, established an annual funding target level of US$ 5 million for the period 2007-11. Since the inception of the STDF, contributions complementing the original seed funding from the World Bank and WTO have been received from a total of 16 donors.
