Updated arrangements for the UN-Water Trust Fund have moved the responsibility for administering the Fund from the rotating UN-Water Chair to a permanent anchoring in the United Nations Office for Project Service (UNOPS). The new arrangements calls for an MoU between each of the 27 UN-Water member agencies to establish an MoU with UNOPS. The MoU between the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNOPS was concluded on 21 February 2011. WHO stated that this will significantly facilitate the flow of funds in support of, for example, the Global Analysis and Assessment of Sanitation and Water (GLAAS) from interested bilateral and multilateral agencies to WHO.
