On 5 October, at a side event of the World Bank Annual meetings, the Government of Guinea and the MPTF Office established the National Post-Ebola Recovery and Resilience Fund (FNRPE). Ahead of the upcoming resource mobilization efforts, the Government of the Republic of Guinea sent a strong signal of commitment to all partners by announcing a US$5 million pledge from its own resources (see Government of Guinea press release). The FNRPE will be managed in accordance with the principles of the Paris Declaration and the New Deal. Member States, regional organizations, inter-governmental organizations, foundations, companies and individuals can contribute to the Fund by signing a Standard Administrative Arrangement with the MPTF Office. For additional information, please contact Philippe Grandet (philippe.grandet@undp.org)
