AFGHANISTAN: The IsDB, as the trustee of the Afghanistan Humanitarian Trust Fund (AHTF), has signed multiple implementation partner (IP) agreements with donors on the sidelines of the 2023 Group Annual Meetings in Jeddah, according to official statements.
The agreements include: one with the International Organization for Migration on the construction of 29 family houses; two agreements with United Nations Children’s Fund for nearly US$2 million to provide clean water in rural Afghan communities and to help children suffering from malnutrition (these AHTF grants come from King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center contributions); one with Aga Khan Foundation to support sustainable and inclusive transformation of agrarian economies in rural Afghanistan; and one with International Medical Corps-UK to implement a project aiming at providing improved water sanitation and hygiene services to targeted populations affected by conflicts and natural disasters in Afghanistan’s Paktika Province.
AHTF is a collective response from the member states of the OIC to address a deep humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan.
