Multi-Donor Trust Fund

The Rules for FoRISK and its Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDTF) provide the formal framework governing the operation, governance, and financing structure of FoRISK as an implementation mechanism under the FOREST EUROPE process. Grounded in the Bonn Ministerial Decision adopted at the 9th FOREST EUROPE Ministerial Conference in Bonn, the Rules provide legal and operational clarity for  countries, and collaborating stakeholders, and set the basis for transparent, accountable, and coordinated actions.

The document defines roles and responsibilities, decision making processes, financial provisions, and oversight mechanisms that will guide FoRISK through its preparatory phase and beyond. Readers interested in understanding how FoRISK functions in practice, how financial contributions are managed, how strategic priorities are set, and how activities are supported, are invited to refer to the full text of the Rules below.
