Financial Intermediary Funds (FIFs) are multilateral financing arrangements for which the World Bank provides Trustee services that include committing and transferring funds to project implementers (generally international organizations such as multilateral development banks or UN agencies). In all cases the World Bank as Trustee is required to act in accordance with instructions of independent governing bodies.

In fulfilling its responsibilities, the World Bank as Trustee complies with all sanctions applicable to World Bank transactions.

The innovative financing and governance arrangements of FIFs enable funds to be raised from multiple sources, including from sovereign and private sources. FIF structures are customizable. For instance FIFs have been customized to receive contributions in the form of concessional loans in addition to traditional grant funds, and can provide funding to recipients using customized financial products.

This dataset provides data on FIFs cash transfers at the transaction detail level. Funds are channeled in a coordinated manner to a range of recipients in the public and private sectors through a variety of arrangements. FIF trusteeship involves holding, investing and transferring funds as directed by the FIF governing body. Trusteeship does not involve overseeing or supervising the use of funds; this is the role of other agencies that receive the funding and who are responsible for project or program implementation. Transfers are generally made by the Trustee to external agencies (other MDBs, UN agencies, etc.) for the implementation of activities.

For IBRD/IDA and IFC Trust Funds, the World Bank Group is normally responsible for all financial and programmatic functions, including oversight of the operational use of the funding. In fulfilling its responsibilities, the World Bank as Trustee complies with all sanctions applicable to World Bank transactions. The use of IBRD/IDA TFs is split between Bank-executed trust funds (BETFs), which are used in support of the Bank's work program, and Recipient-executed trust funds (RETFs), under which funds are provided to a third party, normally in the form of project financing, and supervised by the Bank. IFC manages the funds in support of IFC advisory services and donor-funded investments.
