About The Facility
Bridging the Gap to a Solar Future
Operational since January 2025, the Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDTF) helps ISA member countries overcome the technical and financial barriers to adopting sustainable energy.
Think of us as the accelerator engine of the ISA. We do not just provide funding; we also provide the expertise, digital tools, and transparent frameworks needed to make solar projects viable and scalable.
