The MDF was established to ensure efficient and coordinated delivery of financial support and as a partnership between the Indonesian and relevant provincial governments, the international community, and civil society to support recovery. It provides grants for quality investments based on good practices, stakeholder participation, and coordination. The MDF has pledges of USD 685 million from 15 donors (as of December 2009), making it the largest donor funded instrument to the Aceh reconstruction process. As the largest contributor, EC sits as one of the co-chair of the MDF, together with World Bank as Trustee, Bappenas as Government Indonesia Representative and Governor of Aceh as Local Government Representative. To date the MDF interventions cover five key strategic investment areas: i) recovery of communities (circa € 140.78 million); ii) reconstruction of larger infrastructure (circa € 113.50 million); iii) rebuilding governance (circa € 57.02 million); iv) sustaining the environment (circa € 26.96 million); and v) economic development and livelihoods (circa € 48.23 million). The majority of the projects are in full implementation or near completion, with most of the physical reconstruction targets underway or already met.
