The objective of the Multi Donor Trust Fund (MDTF) “Labor Markets, Job Creation, and Economic Growth, Scaling up Research, Capacity Building, and Action on the Ground” is to promote effective policy-making in the area of job creation in developing countries. To accomplish this objective, the trust fund takes a three-pronged approach:

2. Building the capacity of developing country’s policy-makers and researchers on labor market analysis, evaluation techniques, and good practices in labor market policy.
3. Catalyzing country-level activities aimed at the analysis of local labor market conditions and piloting of promising approaches.
