Welcome to SDF’s newsletter for the first quarter of 2024. In this edition of SDF’s newsletter, we celebrate our ongoing dedication to advancing the welfare of the people across the SAARC Region. Through a comprehensive overview of our latest endeavours, we reaffirm our commitment to enhancing the lives of individuals, accelerating economic growth and social progress, and alleviating poverty through funding of development projects in all the SAARC Member States.
Operating across three funding windows – Social, Economic, and Infrastructure – SDF would like to share that we have over 90 projects approved by our Board and being implemented in all the Member States. These initiatives span various sectors, each aimed at catalyzing sustainable development and fostering regional cooperation.
With the Secretariat established in April 2010, the SAARC Development Fund has continuously evolved to become a regional financial institution for SAARC projects and programmes. Our mandate is clear: to drive forward the principles of unity and progress within the SAARC community, and promote regional integration and economic cooperation.
With each passing year, we embark on new projects, cultivate partnerships, and implement interventions, to enable SDF to become a more dynamic and robust umbrella-funding institution, amply capable of delivering the benefits of regional engagement to the millions in the region through project-based collaboration.
As we navigate the complex landscape of regional development, the trust of our partners makes everything we do possible. We are profoundly grateful for the unwavering support of our valued partners for working together with us to achieve sustainable results through our projects in the Member States.
Happy reading and here is the link
