The donor community recognizes the importance of this exercise and financial commitments will be mobilized towards the funding of the PHC. With the commitment of other Development Partners, a multi-donor fund for the Census will be established, managed and led by UNFPA, to which donors can contribute, based on an agreed framework, priorities and budget lines. At the request of donor countries, UNFPA will set up a Donor Forum for reporting, sharing information and consultation with donors on the Population and Housing Census.
