Earmarked Non Core

Earmarked non-core funding is currently the largest source of UNCDF’s annual income.
It is funding directed by donors to specific country, region, or thematic programmes.
For example, earmarked non-core is used for the regional programmes such as the Pacific Financial Inclusion Programme (PFIP) or country-specific programmes such as expanding the use of mobile money in Tanzania.

UNCDF’s four window funding architecture provides maximum flexibility for contributing partners and is designed to allow robust and scaled-up programming in up to 40 LDCs:
