IsDB Sectors in Brief
Science, Technology and Innovation (STI)

Science, technology and innovation (STI) is recognized as one of the


leading drivers of innovation.

With the right tools and convenient environment, innovators and


business communities can tap on the potential of STI to develop in-
novative solutions to address the challenges facing their communi-
ties. That’s why the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) has launched
the first ever Online Platform – ‘Engage’ which connects innovatiors
and connect them with market opportunities and accessto funding.

Engage Platform is the perfect online environment to interact and


engage with a large network of all stakeholders from around the
world such as NGOs, policy makers, researchers, scientists, private
sector to showcase their ideas to address the challenges of sustain-
ability in our member countries.

Through the Engage platform, IsDB will create a global innovation


ecosystem for the world’s developing communities. Closely aligned
to the UN SustainableDevelopment Goals (SDGs), its key focus is to
accelerate progress towards achieving zero hunger, good health and
wellbeing, quality education, clean water and sanitation, affordable
and clean energy, and improved industry, innovation and infrastruc-
ture in developing countries.

The Platform offers three main services: Match making of innovators


and entreprenuers, technology transfer, and call for innovation.

Through Engage, innovators, SMEs, private sector companies and


governments will benefit from tailored mentoring services and
expert know-how. This is to enable them take their ideas and pro-
posals to an internationally recognized standard.

To further ensure that innovators, Startups and corporations have


access to a steady flow of financing facilities, IsDB has established
a special Fund – ‘Transform.’ The Fund provides seed money for
innovators, startups and SMEs to develop their ideas and compose
a strong business proposal. Transform can also provide funding for

IsDB in Brief: 1975—2018 66


the commercialization of technology developed through sustained
partnerships among researchers and entrepreneurs as well as
capacity building.

Through Transform, innovative ideas are translated into real devel-


opment solutions that will address development challenges and
empower the communities and youth to realize their full potential.

IsDB Scholarship Programmes: Empowering Communities for Sustaina-


ble Development

The IsDB recognizes that qualified human resources are the key for
sustainable socio-economic development programmes and has
given utmost importance of human development, vis-à-vis human
resources development among its main stream financing from the
very early days of its inception.

IsDB has launched its Scholarship Programmes in 1983 to provide


opportunities for talented students in the member countries and
Muslim communities in non-member to pursue their studies in
the following programmes: Undergraduate, Master’s, Ph.D. and
Post-Doctoral Research.

In 2017, the Bank also launched a Joint Programme with The World
Academy of Science (TWAS) in Italy for building critical mass in the
fields of Science, Technology and Innovation to address sustainable
development challenges of member countries. In addition, as a new
initiative for Least Developed Member Countries (LDMCs), a Joint
Scholarship Programme funded by the ISFD has been launched
with the specific aim of reducing poverty. This programme aims at
providing scholarships to financially impoverished and academically
meritorious to study vocational training and undergraduate pro-
gramme.

Promising students and scholars are awarded scholarships to study


in development related fields and return home where their newly
acquired skills and knowledge are put to good use to contribute to
the socio-economic development of their communities and coun-
tries. So far, the Programmes provided scholarships opportunities
to 16,907 students and scholars from 57-member countries and
52-Muslim Communities in non-member countries. Since inception,
the programmes have helped to form a pool of over 10,000 well-

IsDB in Brief: 1975—2018 67


trained and experienced development professionals, transforming
their countries and communities and positively impacting future
generations.

The IsDB Scholarship Programmes have been revamped, and a


new strategy has been recently developed under the leadership of
the Senior Advisor to the President for Science, Technology and
Innovation. The new strategy promotes Sustainability Science that
aims to meet the needs of present and future generations. Under
the new strategy, the fields of study which will be covered are the
following: Sustainable Agriculture, Education, Education for Sus-
tainable Development, Climate Change, Energy, Sustainable Cities,
Responsible Growth, Waste Management, Population Growth, Green
Chemistry, Biodiversity, Plastic pollution and Micro-plastics, Water
and Hygiene, Health, ICT for Development, Innovation & Infrastruc-
ture Development, Islamic Economics, Finance and Banking, and
Development-related Social Sciences.

In pursuance of its objective to play the role of catalyst in develop-


ment of Science, Technology and Innovation in its member coun-
tries, the IsDB has asserted its position by linking the programmes
with reputable universities worldwide. Therefore, a new partnership
model has been pursued with the top (10) ten ranked universities
in all beneficiary countries through Memorandum of Agreements.
Under the new partnership model, the hosting universities will play a
strategic role to provide the students with the necessary mentoring
and guidance to ensure their academic success. They will equally
facilitate the students’ financial entitlements, accommodation and
promote the IsDB scholarship programmes.

Graduated students become part of a larger community of Alumni


around the world to exchange knowledge and contribute with inno-
vative solutions for the development of their local communities. IsDB
will continue reaching-out to its Alumni and invite them to partic-
ipate, among others, in an annual Call for Innovation through its
recently launched “Engage Platform & Transform Fund”. The winning
applicants will receive financial support to translate their innovative
ideas into development solutions and possible commercialization.

Agriculture and Rural Development

Agriculture is one of the major sources of employment in IsDB mem-


ber countries, which are blessed with large endowments of natural
and human resources. The IsDB member countries account for 19
percent of the world population, occupying about 25 percent of the
world’s land area. They also make up 28.8 percent of the world’s
agricultural land and 13.5 percent of the world’s renewable water
resources. 25 of IsDB 57 member-countries are among the world’s
top 20 producers of major agricultural commodities.

Despite the huge potential, some critical challenges are still ahead of
IsDB member states. These include:

• Depletion of natural resources and the growing threat of


vulnerability to climate change, affecting the resilience and
agricultural capacities, and hence the ability of member countries
to provide adequate food for their populations.
• Spiraling rural-to-urban migration leading to higher rates of urban
poverty.
• Emerging globally integrated production systems that pose
significant challenge for farmers, who are predominantly
smallholders with no or very limited access to technology and
markets.
• High rates of youth unemployment among rural and urban
population – around 16 percent in MCs.
• Growing civil unrest recently in many member countries,
disrupting production systems and rural livelihood, and hence
increasing the risk of vulnerability of both rural and urban poor
population.
What we do

The Bank has contributed to 990 agriculture and rural development


projects with at the cost of approximately US $13 billion. That ac-
counts for about 30 percent of total project funding and 18.5 percent
of the total investments made, respectively. These investments
supported projects and programs to develop rural infrastructure, in-
crease agricultural productivity (crop and livestock), build resilience
of agricultural production systems, and generate rural employment
opportunities.
IsDB in Brief: 1975—2018 69
IsDB aims to assist its member countries in their efforts to achieve
the 2030 global development agenda – the Sustainable Develop-
ment Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 1 - No Poverty and SDG 2 - Zero
Hunger. The Bank’s strategy is driven by three overarching objec-
tives:

I. Alleviate poverty and enhance food security.


II. Enhance public-private-partnerships for sustainable,
inclusive, and equitable agriculture and rural development.
III. Create job opportunities in agriculture
and rural non-farm economy.

Areas of Focus

• Raising agricultural productivity


• Improving the resilience of agriculture production systems
• Linking farmers to profitable markets
• Enabling smallholder farmers and rural SMEs to have access to
affordable financing
• Promoting inclusive, sustainable, and integra ed agriculture and
rural development
• Building human and institutional capacity for rural economic
growth

Water
The world is increasingly facing challenges of water scarcity and
uneven distribution of water resources. Addressing these issues
requires more effective and integrated, inter-sectoral water manage-
ment, coupled with enhanced management and operations capacity
at all levels.

IsDB Member Countries are no exception to the global water crisis


and mismanagement. Many member countries, particularly in the
MENA and Central Asia regions face major challenges of water scar-
city. In the MENA region, over 60 percent of the region’s population
live in areas with high or very high surface water stress, compared to
a global average of about 35 percent.

IsDB member countries rely extensively on irrigated agriculture to


achieve food sufficiency. Hence, water agriculture withdrawals are
about 80 percent in IsDB member countries, exceeding the world
and the developed countries averages of 70 percent, and 40 percent,
respectively.

Comprehensive water management is one of the priority areas of


the IsDB member countries and it is important to develop access to
safe drinking water, sanitation, agriculture production, food security,
renewable energy, better planning of the environment and water
management aspects.

IsDB member countries have different level of water scarcity issue,


and the Bank is playing crucial role in supporting its member coun-
tries to address the needs of water management and water security.

Most of the member countries situated in Africa, the Middle East,


and in Central and Southeast Asia suffer from chronic water short-
age with an average annual renewable water resources standing at
913m3 per capita, a rate which is below the threshold of 1,000m3.

Since its inception, the Bank has prioritized financing water-related


projects, with cumulative commitments amounting to USD 9.4
billion for over 320 water sector operations. IsDB interventions were
demand driven and aimed at expanding access to services. Initially,
they were focused, mostly, on rural settings. However, currently, with

IsDB in Brief: 1975—2018 72


the global demographic shifting to urban areas, the Bank has shifted
its operations’ inclination toward MCs’ urbanization trends and
the growing needs in water supply and sanitation services in these
areas.

What we do:

Currently, IsDB is actively involved in over 100 water sector projects,


with commitments of more than $ 6 billion. The distressing water
challenges in Oman, Lebanon, Morocco, Iran and Bahrain make
MENA region IsDB’s main beneficiary of water related project financ-
ing. While the focus in these countries has been on improving water
supply and sanitation services, the sub-Saharan Africa has been the
major beneficiary of water for food investments, through the devel-
opment of small and large irrigation schemes in countries such as
Burkina Faso, Mali, Senegal, etc. The Water Sector Thematic areas
includes:

• Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM)


• Water Productivity for Food Security
• Safe Drinking Water for All
• Sanitation and Hygiene
• Water Security and Governance
• Water Resources and Climate Change
• Transboundary Water Resources

Causes:

Islamic values encourage respecting natural resources and discour-


age wastage of resources strongly, particularly of water. Maintaining
the same value, the Bank focuses its investments for sustainable
development of water resources; hence, playing its role in meet-
ing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly goal #6
which addresses water scarcity, improve water use efficiency and
adopt advanced and innovative water techniques in its MCs. These
massive challenges can only be achieved through cooperation and
partnership with other development partners.

IsDB in Brief: 1975—2018 73


Sub-sectors covered by the IsDB are:

• Irrigation and Drainage


• Water Storage / Dam
• Bulk Water Transfer
• IWRM / Basin Management
• Rural Water Supply and Sanitation
• Rain Water Harvesting

IsDB in Brief: 1975—2018 74


Climate Change
Climate change remains one of the most pressing challenges of our
time due to its impact on vulnerable communities and environment
around the world. As a south-south development institution, climate
change remains a priority area for the Islamic Development Bank
(IsDB). The Bank does not only understand the risks climate change
poses to cities, agriculture, health, transport, water, sanitation, and
energy systems, but also sees the opportunities climate change
offers to the least developed, emerging, and developed economies
among IsDB member countries

Since its inception, IsDB has invested in high-impact projects


worth billions of US dollars in agriculture, energy, education, health,
transport, and urban development services sectors in its member
countries. However, if climate change is not urgently addressed,
the development gains and achievements made by the Bank and
its partners can be disrupted, and even reversed, by the devastating
effects of climate change. The challenges of climate change need to
be addressed through emission-mitigating, adaptation-driven, and
resilience-focused investments and interventions.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Paris Climate


Accord have created an opportunity to address the challenges and
vulnerabilities posed by climate change. Subsequently, they have
also created platforms to tackle the twin-goal of climate-friendly
investments and economic development, which has remained a
pressing challenge among many IsDB member countries.

To address the salient impact of climate change in IsDB member


countries, the Bank is systematically integrating climate risk as-
sessments, mitigation, and adaptation measures into its long-lived,
climate-sensitive and highly-prone investment operations to help
make them resilient to a changing climate. The focus is to create
sustainable systems (agriculture, energy, health, transport, water
etc.) that are robust, resilient, and adaptive to changing climatic
conditions through Islamic modes of financing.

IsDB supports its member countries in identifying and profiling


those climate change risks that are likely to affect financed or poten-
tial development operations. In its function, the IsDB Climate Change

IsDB in Brief: 1975—2018 75


Policy, Member Country Partnership Strategy (MCPS), and Nationally
Determined Contributions (NDCs) of IsDB client countries drive the
Bank’s climate financing activities and operations.

IsDB formulates, designs, and develops climate risk mitigation and


adaptation strategies and options that increase climate resilience
through the application of climate-friendly and resource-efficient
technologies. In addition, IsDB assists member countries to fill
existing development gaps by strengthening institutions, capacity
building, partnership, and leveraging its resource-mobilization
capabilities with other private, national, bilateral, and multilateral
development partners.

In its effort to tackle the challenges of climate change, IsDB op-


erates in multiple sectors across the Bank’s Global Practices and
Regional Hubs in sectors including energy (renewable and smart
systems), climate-smart agriculture, forestry, resource efficiency,
climate-friendly housing, sustainable transport, sustainable cities,
coastal protection, waste management, water, and others.

IsDB in Brief: 1975—2018 76


Urban Development
Cities accommodate more than half of the world’s population. By
2050, another 2.3 billion people are expected to get absorbed in
urban community, predicts UN Population Projections. Urban settle-
ments have been driving global economic growth and innovation for
long. Today, cities generate around 85% of the global Gross Domes-
tic Product (GDP).

The facilities in urban areas continue to attract rural population.


The continuous migration from rural to urban areas adds complex-
ities in the effective and efficient city administration. The constant
migration from rural to urban areas requires consistent and robust
measures to tackle the resultant challenges.

Urban challenges in the 21st century include the increasing need for
people to move from place to place, rising demand for decent urban
housing shelter, difficulty to manage waste generated by the urban
dwellers, and higher water and energy consumption. When a city
fails to address these challenges, such a city becomes less compet-
itive, live-able and consequently loses its relevance as a key driver
for growth. A well performing institutional structure and adequate
financing are crucial requirements for cities to be compatible with
the global urban infrastructure standards.

IsDB offers smart integrated solutions to urban challenges that aim


at exploring better ways, which can enhance the livability and com-
petitiveness of cities in its MCs.

What we do:

During 2009-2017, IsDB invested USD 4 billion in the urban sector


of which 70 percent went to water supply enhancement projects,
followed by sanitation and sewerage for 20 percent, solid waste
management by two percent, housing one percent and others by
seven percent. Housing sub-sector completed two key projects
successfully in Bamako, Mali (US$ 31 million) and the Saida City
(Lebanon) Infrastructure Development Project (US$21million). How-
ever, the major completed projects were in the water (Bahrain US$
191 million, Algeria US$ 63 million, Lebanon US$ 58 million, etc.) and

IsDB in Brief: 1975—2018 77


sanitation sector (Iran US$ 108 million, Turkey, Turkmenistan and
Uzbekistan, etc.).

The three biggest ongoing water projects are in West Africa (Sene-
gal, Mali & Burkina Faso). The Western Tehran Sanitation Project in
Iran is the biggest sanitation project worth USD 211 million. Finally,
the Cocody Bay Environmental Improvement and Urban Develop-
ment Project in Cote d’Ivoire (Euro 234 million) approved in 2017, is
the biggest urban development project financed by the Bank and it
highlights a partnership and south-south cooperation between Cote
d’Ivoire and Morocco.

IsDB’s focus area include the following thematic areas under the
urban development operations:

• Urban Water Management includes potable drinking water, large,


medium and small water treatment plants, storm water collection
and drainage infrastructure
• Urban Sanitation and Waste Management that includes waste
water collection and treatment facilities, solid waste collection
and recycling infrastructure, and institutional strengthening;
• Urban Housing and Slum Renewal that includes low-cost housing
for the vulnerable, slum upgrading;
• Urban Resilience (Climate Change) which includes flood
protection, coastal barriers (hard and soft engineering)
• Sub-sectors covered by IsDB are:
• Urban Water Supply and Sanitation
• Water and Wastewater Treatment / Re-use
• Flood Protection / Storm Water Management
• Urban Services Planning
• Solid Waste Management
• Affordable Social Housing

IsDB in Brief: 1975—2018 78


IsDB in Brief: 1975—2018 79
Transport
IsDB has contributed in major transportation related projects in
its member countries. The bank’s interventions vary from building
airports to seaports to roads to railway tracks and others. These
projects have provided many landlocked member countries to reach
out to other countries and expand their economies and supported
regional integration.

The IsDB financing for transport sector has greatly helped countries
in their integration efforts within the national, regional and/or global
economy. These IsDB projects have enhanced mobility, accessibility
and supply of goods and services among member countries.

Around 30% of IsDB operations portfolios are transport sector-related.


In 2016, the IsDB approved 12 operations in 11 countries with a total
value of US$1.53 billion. Some 51% of this approved financing was in
the rail sector, 38% was for roads and 11% was for urban mass transit
projects. Overall, 50% of the financing was for sub-Saharan African
countries (mostly roads), 38% was for Asia and Europe, and 12% was
for the MENA region.

What we do:

The IsDB is committed to improving the transport sectors in develop-


ing countries and sharing the “Sustainable Mobility for All” objectives
of making mobility equitable, efficient, safe and green. The Bank
supports the International agenda of UN Decade of Action for road
safety and the adhesion of member countries to the UN transport
conventions. Key initiatives include:

• Supporting international initiatives of the Sustainable Mobility for


All (SUM4All).
• Provision of sustainable transport infrastructure to enhance access,
efficiency and safety.
• Regional integration through enhancing inter and intra-organization
of Islamic cooperation trade and investment through cross-border
and regional transportation projects.
• Global dialogue on transport and mobility to support transforming
the transport sector and achieve sustainable mobility for all.

IsDB in Brief: 1975—2018 80


Public-Private Partnership (PPP)
Mega infrastructure projects require huge financial and non-fi-
nancial resources; it is nearly impossible to meet the demand for
infrastructure projects from the national budgets. Traditional public
procurement of infrastructure investment can, therefore, no longer
be sustained on its own.

This is where the role of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) becomes


handy. For instance, currently, IsDB member countries are facing an
estimated financing gap of USD 200 billion for infrastructure devel-
opment on annual basis. PPPs allow a government and a private
party(s) to form a long-term contract to provide a public asset or
service, in which the private party bears significant risk and man-
agement responsibility, and remuneration is linked to performance.

As a multilateral development bank (MDB), IsDB is playing an active


role in the socioeconomic development of its member countries. In
the same spirit, IsDB promotes and supports Public-Private Part-
nerships (PPPs) by providing financing and transaction advisory
services.

IsDB offers the prospect of expanding the sources of private fi-


nancing for the large infrastructure investment needs of its member
countries to help them cover their annual financing gap.

PPP Financing Operations

PPP procurement model has gained a considerable acceptance


within the public policy dialogue. The chief purpose of PPP is to
promote socioeconomic development in countries. Well-designed
and economically efficient PPP procurement models lead to higher
socioeconomic returns as compared to a traditional public procure-
ment model.

Better selection, efficient implementation, cost and time reduction,


efficient service delivery, and better maintenance are some of the
crucial advantages of PPP projects; not to mention, bringing in
private capital investment in national development plans. The latter,
in turn, creates room for public funds investment in much needed
social programs.

IsDB in Brief: 1975—2018 81


IsDB in Brief: 1975—2018 82
IsDB’s PPP operations’ primary focus is on infrastructure financ-
ing. Such financings encompass provision of long-term funds
through Shariah-compliant modes to privately held, state-owned,
or sub-sovereign entities. The terms and conditions are discussed
and negotiated individually, and the transaction structure is agreed
based on an optimized project and risk design.

IsDB’s non-sovereign lending portfolio has reached USD 2.7 billion


by the end of 2017. Utilities including power generation, financial
sector and energy & petrochemicals have the highest shares in the
portfolio. IsDB has 46 active PPP operations so far in its 17-member
countries. In terms of industry groups and sectorial distribution, 47%
of approvals in 2017 were for renewable energy (utilities), 29% for
healthcare projects, and 24% for thermal power (utilities).

Enabling Environment Activities and


Project Development
IsDB is actively assisting its member countries to improve their
investment climates, capital market efficiency, enabling PPP-related
infrastructure investments, supporting competitiveness, and sus-
tainable growth.

IsDB involves transaction advisory services to develop and enhance


bankable PPP projects. It undertakes policy level advisory activities
and promotes knowledge sharing. It also consists of organizing
annual networking platforms. One such platform is IsDB Member
Countries PPP Forum aimed at highlighting the importance of PPP
as a preferred alternative for procurement of infrastructure assets.

In 2017, IsDB launched the first IsDB Member Countries PPP Forum
in Saudi Arabia. The Forum managed to increase awareness on the
importance of PPP within the region by bringing together more than
300 government officials and private-sector business leaders.

In 2017, IsDB engaged with the Ministry of Health of Kingdom of


Saudi Arabia related to the provision of PPP Advisory Services for
development of health facilities where IsDB shall lead the mandate,
in the capacity of Lead Advisor, along with consortium members.

IsDB in Brief: 1975—2018 83


Resource Mobilization and De-risking

IsDB scales-up and leverages its resources through project syndica-


tion, co-financing and other off-balance-sheet resource mobilization
strategies. In its attempt to streamline part of the globally available
resources for infrastructure development of its Member Countries,
IsDB has introduced the first Islamic A/B Financing Structure open
to both Islamic and conventional banks to mobilize private capital.
Mobilization of private capital is also closely linked to de-risking
the investment environment via insurance and other risk mitigation
products and tools on which IsDB is working to develop further.

Themes
Fragile and Conflict Affected Situations (FCAS)

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development


(OECD) States of Fragility Framework – 2018, identifies 56 countries
experiencing a fragile situation, out which 27 are IsDB member
countries.

The IsDB Group has been actively engaged in various ways in build-
ing resilience and mitigating the adverse effects of FCAS. However,
IsDB engagement are mostly on a case by case basis and mainly
focuses on rebuilding physical infrastructure, renewal of human and
social capital, and participation in international aid.

The IsDB Group, so far, has provided more than $2 billion FCAS
operations in 40-member countries and Muslim communities in 19
non-member countries. IsDB interventions include relief assistance,
water and sanitation, education, health etc. but mainly focuses on
reconstructing physical infrastructure and rejuvenating human and
social capital, which are carried out through Trust Funds, Fael Khair
Program, Special Operations and ISFD.

Maintaining its commitment to global Sustainable Development


Goals (SDGs), IsDB endorses the implementation of SDG 16 for
the “promotion of peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable
development, the provision of access to justice for all, and building
effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels.”

IsDB in Brief: 1975—2018 84


To address the challenges posed by fragility and realign its 10-year
strategy and President 5-year Program (P5P), promoting inclusive
economic and social development for FCAS member countries, the
Bank aims to carry out the following activities in the coming 4-5
years:

• Setting the strategic direction of the Bank to support FCAS


MCs by developing post conflict and fragility policy to have a
systematic and coherent approach taking into account the main
focal areas: (i) preventive actions addressing the root causes and
the risk of conflict accenting the inclusiveness of opportunities
to address disparities between geographic regions or readily
identifiable social and ethnic groups; (ii) formulating investments
aimed at the mitigation of the impacts of risks as an important
second transitional step and; (iii) focusing on recovery to address
impacts by jump-starting the economy (especially employment of
women, youth and vulnerable groups), ensuring the transparent
and accountable governance of resources, and rebuilding the
human, social and physical capital of the MCs affected by FCAS.
• Introducing innovative financing facility to support the FCAS
in the member countries to cope with the shocks, negative
impact and consequences of the violent conflict and man-made
calamities through Fragility Financing Facility (TRIPLE-F). The
aim of the Tripe-F is to: (i) provide effective humanitarian and
emergency response to the conflict-affected countries; (ii)
support the economic, social transition, recovery and resilience
building of the FCAS in the IsDB MCs; (iii) provide institutional
support to strengthen capacity of the institutions; and (iv)
encourage private sector-led development through enhancing
Public Private Partnerships (PPP) to increase investment in the
infrastructure reconstructions.
• Increasing knowledge and understanding of the conflict, fragility
and resilience through knowledge product development and
dissemination. The Bank will be carrying the following activities:
I. conducting IsDB led member countires Resilience Forum
aimed at carrying out stakeholder engagement to bring all
actors together; sharing experience and best practices in the
area of resilience building; fostering partnership and financial
leveraging opportunities and technical expertise transfer; (ii)
producing IsDB Led Resilience Report, which will highlight trends,

IsDB in Brief: 1975—2018 85


challenges and opportunities of resilience in member countries,
analyze the global practices, experience and lessons learned;
increase awareness and knowledge in the areas of resilience
and development, and provide practical recommendations and
solutions. The report will also feed in the IsDB Resilience Forum.
Member Country Partnership Strategy

IsDB’s Board of Governors (BoG) approved a new operating model in


2014 to achieve the ambitious 10-Year Strategic Framework (10YS).
This new target operating model aims for the Bank to: (a) be “Pro-
active” by empowering member countries to foresee the future and
make global market forces work for their development; (b) be at the
Frontier: by leveraging a network of developers that can mobilize
financial and human resources to meet the diverse current and
future needs of MCs; and (c) be fast and adaptive by decentralizing
geographically and functionally.

To drive the Bank towards the above mentioned operating model, the
Bank adopted Integrated Strategic Programming Framework (ISPF).
The ISPF focuses on developing a new generation of Member Coun-
try Partnership Strategy (MCPS). This strategy defines IsDB’s inter-
ventions in the Member Country through an agreed upon approach
between the Bank and the member countries. The MCPS helps IsDB
and the member country to define a universe of interventions over a
period that focuses on maximizing developmental impact.

IsDB Group launched the MCPS in 2010 as a tool to mainstream


three operating principles. These are: a) Being proactive - reaching
out to clients instead of waiting to be approached); b) inclusiveness
- seeking the support and cooperation of all stakeholders, and c)
prioritization - allocating available resources to the most urgent and
priority needs of member countries. MCPS is adopted to enhance
the Bank’s synergy and development results by aligning member
countries s priorities with the IsDB Group Vision.

Features and Developments: So far, IsDB has formulated 19 MCPSs;


out of which 17 MCPSs have been successfully implemented while 2
MCPSs are under implementation. In addition to this, 10 MCPSs are
under preparation.

IsDB in Brief: 1975—2018 86


During the MCPS process, the Bank engages in a wide range of
consultations with the public and private sectors, academia, civil
society, and other development partners.

Through the MCPS process, IsDB has been able to mobilize resourc-
es, conduct sustained campaigns to disseminate its products and
services, and build strong country knowledge by understanding
emerging opportunities and challenges facing its member countries.

Based on the lessons learnt from the first batch of MCPS, the Bank
has initiated a second batch of MCPS with greater focus on achiev-
ing member country competitiveness and development effective-
ness, promoting innovative interventions and global value chains,
and expanding operations in several crosscutting areas including
Islamic finance, private sector development and Reverse Linkage
activities.

IsDB Group’s Market and Regional Cooperation Integration Program

IsDB’s Market and Regional Integration Program aims to strengthen


cross-border linkages among the various economies to create a
larger, synergistically enhanced market. The market integration
encompasses activities with a common goal to provide a cross-bor-
der trade financing and investment promotion, integration-oriented
policy reform, harmonization of standards, as well as awareness of
cross-border opportunities, etc.

In the same spirit, the Bank has adopted even a larger mandate - Re-
gional Cooperation and Integration (RCI) which defines the process
by which countries coordinate, collaborate and invest to strengthen
integration of their economies, to mitigate shared risks and avoid
conflict.

IsDB Group has made a significant contribution to RCI since its


inception, including many infrastructure projects (hardware), directly
impacting cross-border connectivity. During the span of 2015 –
2017, IsDB sector operations approvals with an RCI component
accounted for 29 percent of total approvals worth US $ 4.44 billion.

The Market and Regional Integration Program helps to formalize and


mainstream market integration within IsDB operations and external-
ly through various market integration activities such as supporting a

IsDB in Brief: 1975—2018 87


Technical Assistance and Capacity Building Program (a World Trade
Organization Program) since 1997.

IsDB launched the WTO-Program with the prime objective to help its
member countries upgrade their human and institutional capacities
to adjust to the new multilateral trading system. The aim of the Pro-
gram is to provide greater awareness to the Organization of Islamic
Cooperation (OIC) member countries on WTO Agreements and their
implementation and facilitate the process of their accession to the
WTO. It also serves as a forum where relevant officials from member
countries can exchange views and discuss various multilateral trade
matters.

The features of the program include organizing seminars and work-


shops on WTO agreements; conducting technical courses on Trade
Policy; organizing Consultative Meetings on important issues and
in preparation for the WTO Ministerial Conferences. It also under-
takes WTO-related studies; and provides advisory services through
financing of experts/consultants to member countries on WTO-re-
lated matters. Following are the activities that have been undertaken
by IsDB Group’s WTO Program:

II. Organizing seminars and workshops covering a wide range


of WTO issues with the view to familiarizing the member
countries with the contents and provisions of the WTO
Agreements as well as the with the activities of WTO;
III. Organizing Trade Policy Courses covering a wide
range of topics, such as, market access, customs and
trade administration, anti-dumping, subsidies;
IV. Undertaking Special Studies on WTO-related issues
based on the requests of the member countries;
V. Organizing Consultative Meetings for the member countries
mostly in conjunction with the WTO Ministerial Conferences.; and
VI. Providing WTO Specific Technical Assistance to OIC Member
Countries through hiring consultancy services or fielding
in-house WTO experts on vital WTO issues such as, WTO
accession, drafting of national laws, establishing WTO Units
and providing capacity building for all general purposes.
IsDB Group’s Investment Promotion Technical Assistance Program
(ITAP)

IsDB in Brief: 1975—2018 88


IsDB Group’s Investment Promotion Technical Assistance Program
(ITAP) was established in 2005 to support IsDB Member Countries
in improving their investment climate. ITAP also enhances member
countries ability to promote and attract both domestic and foreign
direct investment.

The core objective of ITAP is to develop the capacity of IsDB member


countries to promote and attract both domestic and foreign direct
investment. It achieves its objectives by offering a wide array of
technical assistance and capacity building services to Investment
Promotion Agencies (IPAs) and other intermediaries. It is also in-
