The aim of the agreement is to facilitate cooperation between the IDB and Muslim Aid in the fields of health and education, promote human development and social progress of Muslim communities worldwide, and establish necessary arrangements to implement these goals.
The MoU was signed by IDB President Ahmad Mohamed Ali and Muslim Aid’s Chairman Sir Iqbal Sacranie. Under the MoU, the IDB and Muslim Aid will work together in coordinating programs and activities as agreed by the two institutions.
“We have worked together on many projects in developing countries and I am confident that this MoU will strengthen our existing relationship to pursue our common goals of fighting global poverty,” said Ali, stressing on the need to enhance cooperation with Muslim Aid within the UK.
“Muslim Aid is privileged to have been associated with the IDB’s poverty alleviation programs. This occasion is a proud moment in the 25-year history of Muslim Aid, as well as the British Muslim community. We look forward to enhancing our ongoing cooperation with the IDB to expand our services, serve humanity and help countries achieve the UN Millennium Development Goals,” said Sacranie.
Muslim Aid was established in 1985 and has worked in over 70 countries with field offices in Bangladesh, Bosnia, Cambodia, Gambia, Indonesia, Iraq, Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon, Pakistan, Somalia, Sri Lanka and Sudan.
Muslim Aid works with all people in need regardless of race, religion, gender, nationality or political opinion.
