FIFs can be powerful instruments for impactful collective action in supporting the provision of critical global public goods. They provide the global development community with independently governed multidonor collaboration platforms and innovative financing mechanisms to address vertical themes launched at high-level, multilateral forums. ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ provides FIFs with tailored administrative, operational, legal, and financial services to support their missions.

ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ facilitates the establishment and operation of FIFs by offering to perform a set of roles and responsibilities tailored to the circumstances of each FIF. ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ is a valued partner as a trustee for FIFs, building on well-established financial, investment management and accounting platforms developed by the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ over the past two decades, and on experienced specialized legal and treasury services. In addition, the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ often hosts FIF secretariats and serves as one of the implementing entities.

ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ serves as limited trustee and/or financial or treasury manager for all 27 FIFs that were active as of the end of FY2020. Of these, the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ provides the legal personality for 19 FIFs, hosts the secretariats for 18 FIFs, and serves as an implementing entity for 20 FIFs. ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ takes on an implementing entity role for most FIFs whose secretariat is hosted by the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳. ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ also acts as an implementing entity for three FIFs with external secretariats: Climate Risk and Early Warning Systems (CREWS), the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and Guyana REDD+ Investment Fund (GRIF).
