The Islamic Solidarity Fund, a subsidiary organ of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, announced that the aid provided by the Fund exceeded $ 6 million during 2017. An overall amount of $ 6 079 000 was spent on 85 projects, Executive Director Ibrahim Abdullah Al-Khuzayem said, explaining that the State of Palestine topped the list of recipient countries, with over a million dollars.
This financial assistance is indicative of the importance the OIC accords, through the Islamic Solidarity Fund, to human development and capacity building for Muslims in social, economic, educational, cultural, health and various other fields, Mr. Al-Khuzayem pointed out.
For his part, the OIC Secretary General, Dr. Yousef Al-Othaimeen, hailed the efforts of the ISF team, asking the Member States to continue supporting the Fund and contributing to its financial resources for optimal discharge of its duties.
