Trust Fund projects - promoting security and defence reform 5. Working together for results
A NATO member state or Partner country volunteers to lead each Trust Fund project. The Lead Nation is responsible for gathering political and financial support for the project. To date, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Turkey and the United States have served as Lead Nations. Close cooperation with other international organisations is a vital part of the Trust Fund process. Currently, the European Union, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe and the United Nations are involved in various projects. Civil society, including non-governmental organisations, also has a role to play - for example, the Fund for Peace and the Razumkov Centre were part of the team responsible for preparing the Trust Fund project launched in Ukraine in 2005. Did you know? In November 2004, the International Campaign to Ban Landmines launched their annual Landmine Monitor Report at NATO Headquarters. Nobel Prize Laureate Jody Williams (shown here being welcomed by NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer) attended the event and acknowledged NATO's important role in supporting the implementation of the Ottawa Convention. ![]()
