The International Monetary Fund’s managing natural resource wealth thematic fund – phase II (MNRW-II)

The Managing Natural Resource Wealth Trust Fund (MNRW-TF) is a multi-partner fund established in 2011 by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to build capacity in low- and lower-middle income countries in managing wealth from oil, gas and mining. The TF is overseen by a Steering Committee (SC) comprising IMF and key donor staff. It is endowed with an approximate budget of $30M.

This report is the mid-term review of Phase II of the TF (MNRW-II), which has been under implementation since 2017. It covers progress to September 2021. It was guided by the OECD DAC criteria and informed by document review, interviews and surveys targeting relevant stakeholders in a sample of six countries and five multi-country projects.
