The Trust Fund for Statistical Capacity Building General Information The trust fund (TFSCB) is a multi-donor trust fund which was launched in 1999, and has provided funding to over 200 projects, in all regions of the world. The trust fund aims to strengthen the capacity of statistical systems in developing countries, and supports two main types of projects: i) Preparation and/or updating of National Strategies for the Development of Statistics (NSDS); and ii) Improvement in statistical capacity in key priority areas, such as those highlighted in the Busan Action Plan for Statistics (BAPS) and the post-2015 agenda.
TFSCB General Information con. All World Bank member countries are eligible to apply for funding, with priority given to IDA countries. The maximum amount for any one proposal is $500,000 and the duration period covers 2 years. Application windows are generally held twice per year. Funding can also be provided to sub-regional, regional, and international organizations. In general, the main goal of the TFSCB is to improve statistical capacity in a sustainable manner. The funds provided cannot be used to replace national budgetary resources. Projects should be aligned with Country Partnership Strategies and other international programs, and in line with the PARIS21 overall approach.
