Human Development Fund (HDF) has signed a strategic partnership agreement with the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) to expand its development work across eight countries. The agreement was signed on November 4, 2026, at IsDB headquarters in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, under the Tadamon 2.0 Community Empowerment Program.
The partnership focuses on sustainable livelihoods, economic empowerment, capacity building, and strengthening local civil society organizations. It will support the organizations working within communities to meet local needs over the long term.
Tadamon 2.0 is the second phase of IsDB’s poverty-reduction program. It works with communities that are difficult to reach across member countries and helps local organizations build their capacity to serve them. Through the agreement, HDF’s programs will become part of that wider effort.
“We have spent years building programs that put communities in the lead. This partnership with IsDB lets that work reach further. Across eight countries, it gives local organizations the support to serve their own people for the long term. This is a meaningful step toward lasting change for the communities we serve.”
Abdirahman Kariye, CEO of Human Development Fund
