Steering Committee
Co-chaired by a representative from the Darfur Regional Authority (DRA) and the United Nations Resident Coordinator, the Steering Committee includes representatives from the Government of Sudan, contributing donors, participating organizations, and civil society. The Steering Committee provides oversight of the Fund, establishes fund allocation criteria, and makes resource allocation decisions for programmes/projects.
Technical Secretariat
The Technical Secretariat develops—in close collaboration with the DRA, Pillar Technical Heads, and chair of the Peer Review Group—technical notes to guide the design of proposals, monitoring of implementation and partner performance, and financial management. The Secretariat is headed by a Fund Manager.
Peer Review Group
Reviews and endorses all project proposals prior to submitting to the Steering Committee.
Pillar Technical Groups
Coordinate interventions that fall within each pillar, identifying and updating priorities among pillar objectives, and providing technical guidance for selecting proposals under different funding channels. These groups are not specific to the Fund, but perform technical guidance and coordination functions vis-à-vis all relevant projects and funding streams.
Administrative Agent
Funds are routed by way of a pass-through mechanism. Participating Organizations receive funds through the Administrative Agent, Multi-Partner Trust Fund (MPTF) Office. The Administrative Agent is responsible for the receipt, administration and management of contributions from donors, disbursement of funds to Participating Organizations, and consolidation and dissemination of progress reports to donors.
Participating Organizations
Implementation of interventions is the responsibility of Participating Organizations. Each organization is programmatically and financially responsible for resources received.
