Tripartite joint fund projects usually refer to fund projects initiated and managed by three different organizations. These three organizations can be government agencies, non-profit organizations, international organizations, enterprises and so on. Due to the nature and purpose of the project, the specific tripartite organization may be different.

For example, in the field of international development, a development aid agency (such as the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank) can cooperate with one or more donor governments and one recipient government to establish and manage a tripartite joint fund project to support the development projects of recipient countries.

In the field of environmental protection, a tripartite joint fund project can be established and managed by an environmental protection organization, an enterprise or industry association and a government department to promote environmental protection and sustainable development.

In a word, a tripartite joint fund project refers to a fund project which is co-operated, funded, managed and implemented by three different organizations to solve the needs of specific fields or problems and promote coordination and cooperation among partners. The specific tripartite organization can be changed according to the nature and purpose of the project.
