IsDB Group

Today at #IsDB Headquarters, Dr. Rami Ahmad, Vice President, Operations, of the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) Group, and Mr. Abdirahman Kariye, CEO of the Human Development Fund (HDF), signed a US$5 million partnership agreement under the Tadamon 2.0 Community Empowerment Program, supporting vulnerable communities across eight IsDB member countries.

The partnership builds on the encouraging results of Tadamon Phase 1, which supported member countries and delivered tangible results in climate-smart agriculture, food security and access to clean water. The programme also mapped civil society organizations.

Under Tadamon 2.0, HDF's contribution will support food security, economic opportunities, skills development, sustainable livelihoods, emergency relief, health and WASH. HDF will also provide technical expertise in digital crowdfunding, donor engagement and community mobilization through the Tadamon Development Academy.

The partnership advances a shared commitment to empowering local civil society organizations, strengthening community resilience and expanding sustainable development impact across vulnerable communities.
