The Global Data Facility is the new World Bank-hosted innovative global funding instrument for the world's most critical data impact opportunities. For the latest updates, visit our new website at www.worldbank.org/global-data-facility.

The Trust Fund for Statistical Capacity Building (TFSCB) was a multi-donor trust fund, aimed to improve the capacity of developing countries to produce and use statistics with an overall objective of supporting effective decision-making for development. For more than two decades, the Trust Fund for Statistical Capacity Building (TFSCB) worked to improve statistical capacity around the world. Guided by the principle that better data supports better policy for better lives, the TFSCB disbursed 432 grants worth over USD 100 million to 149 low and middle-income countries between 1999 and 2021, working with countries and regions to build their capacity to produce high-quality statistics. Over the course of the TFSCB program, recipients were given grant funding across six different windows, each targeting key areas of statistical capacity and development, including windows focused on National Strategies for the Development of Statistics (NSDS), Data Production, Innovation, and Inclusive Data.

During its 22 years of operation, the TFSCB has both proven the efficacy of small grant funding (USD 500,000 or less) as well as its ability to serve as a channel to collect and direct financing from numerous international donors towards a common goal of improving statistics around the world. With each project and window of financing, the TFSCB team continuously strove to learn and build upon their experience in grant making, incorporating feedback from recipient countries to strengthen internal processes and improve the overall approach of the program.

As the TFSCB closed operations in 2021, we look forward to the next generation of financing in the Global Data Facility (GDS), the new World Bank-hosted Fund to support data and statistics priorities at the global, regional, national, and community levels. The GDS is designed to enable exponential improvements of and strengthened human capacity for data collection, data management, data governance, data analysis, data sharing, data protection, and data use and reuse for transformational social and economic development.
