2009 AT A GLANCE

The year 2009 was marked by a substantially expanded program. Total commitments surpassed
USD$2 million and cumulative disbursements reached USD$1.9 million. Thirty-six new grants
were offered in 2009 compared to twenty-six and eight in 2008 and 2007 respectively. Twelve
projects were completed in 2009, also a record. Table 3 illustrates PTF’s annual progression in
commitments. Based on experience and lessons learned over the last decade, PTF has started
concentrating financial support more selectively. By focusing on fewer countries, PTF has
successfully been able to contribute to building a critical mass of CSO initiatives within select
countries.
