#MNDA_Reflections DAY2 Rethinking a Multi-Stakeholder Trust Fund for promoting Niger Delta Development.

A Multi-Stakeholder Trust Fund will provide a new, complementary, funding  vehicle to support investments of high impact and short-term return.

A newly established Niger Delta Multi-Stakeholder Trust Fund will form an additional programme delivery  mechanism which focuses on investments which will have a high impact on elements of the results  framework and are additional to other funding sources, particularly on market development activities. Over  time, and as the Fund demonstrates its ability to deliver results effectively, development partners may  choose to use this facility as their one of their main delivery instruments in the region.

The MSTF will be a non-profit fund that will invest all funds mobilised into the development of the Niger Delta and  increasing the management capacity of MNDA and local governments. It will invest in the highest priority projects  and programmes defined in the framework of the Niger Delta Action Plan, which will enable the region to address  its urgent needs in social development, infrastructure and peace and stability.
