About Islamic Development Bank (IsDB)

The Islamic Development Bank is a multilateral development bank (MDB), working to improve the lives of those we serve by promoting social and economic development in Member countries and Muslim communities worldwide, delivering impact at scale.

We provide the infrastructure to enable people to lead better lives and achieve their full potential.

Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) Mission

We believe all people have the right to live in dignity and prosperity, and that nurturing economic growth is the best route out of poverty.

We equip people to drive their own economic and social progress at scale, putting the infrastructure in place to enable them to fulfil their potential.

We build collaborative partnerships between communities and nations, across the public and private sectors.

We foster innovative and sustainable solutions to the world’s greatest development challenges, as we work towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The Islamic Development Bank believes that improving human dignity is at the heart of any development.

We therefore seek the opportunity to employ the best and most talented individuals to work across different sectors of our activities to ensure that we deliver the most effective service in our member and non-member countries.

At the IsDB, we are incredibly proud of the work we do to aid the development of our 57 member nations. The financing we provide reaches, and provides meaningful changes to, nearly one fifth of the world’s population. In order to have the greatest impact, we believe it is important to have a diverse portfolio of sectors where we allocate our financing, and we focus our work on the following areas:

Infrastructure

A resilient, sustainable infrastructure network plays a crucial role in ensuring the continued economic growth of developing countries.

By investing in urban and agricultural development, as well as the energy and transport requirements that these areas demand, we can continue to enable our projects to maintain and enhance and their impact under a sustainable model.

Education

Education is the key to unleashing the potential of future generations, and that’s why we fund skills and education training – especially for women and young people in rural areas – that enables access to the labour market and improves their life prospects.

The IsDB Scholarship Programmes aim to promote excellence in science within our member countries and amongst Muslim communities in non-member countries. To date, we have supported over 13,000 students, with funding of US$133.7 million, and 90% of graduates have returned to their respective countries to join their home institutions.

Health

As a cornerstone for human development, the Health sector is a priority area for the IsDB. We focus on the prevention and control of both communicable and non-communicable diseases, improving access to and the quality of healthcare services, and reducing financial barriers to access of available resources.

Humanitarian Relief

We believe we have a crucial role to play in providing Humanitarian Relief across the world. Our member states include 26 of the world’s poorest nations, which are especially vulnerable to natural disasters and the impact of climate change.

By investing in these countries and funding projects, we aim to improve the quality of life for people living there.

Women & Girls

To combat poverty and drive development, it’s vital to tap, and unleash, the potential of everyone.

That’s why we’re committed to supporting Women and Girls across the world. We do this by targeting access to finance, education/school enrolment and health programmes, including maternal health – areas that traditionally have proven to be barriers to greater female emancipation.
