The King Abdullah II Fund for Development (KAFD) organized Tuesday a consultative workshop with representatives from the public and private sectors, nonprofit organizations, and local and international development institutions and programs, to review proposed directions for the Fund's strategy for 2027-2029.

The workshop forms part of preparations for the KAFD's new strategy and reflects its approach of strengthening partnership and consultation with relevant stakeholders, drawing on diverse expertise and perspectives to set priorities and shape its future direction.

The KAFD presented the general framework and proposed directions for the strategy. Participants discussed future priorities and areas of focus for the coming three years and offered observations and proposals related to the Fund's role and its development programs and projects.

KAFD's Director General Samer Al-Mofleh said the new strategy stems from efforts to develop the KAFD's work and strengthen the impact of its programs and projects, in step with national priorities set out in the economic, political and administrative modernization visions, as well as rapid changes and the needs of target groups.

Al-Mofleh stressed that involving partners and stakeholders at the strategy-drafting stage is a fundamental step toward building realistic, ambitious directions grounded in experience and participation, translating priorities into implementable programs and projects with sustainable development impact.

He underscored the KAFD's commitment to aligning its future directions with national priorities and the Economic Modernization Vision, particularly in human capital development, entrepreneurship, and strengthening skills and capabilities to improve youth readiness for the current and future labor market.

The workshop featured a dialogue on the proposed strategy directions, during which participants exchanged views and shared observations and proposals to help refine the strategy and finalize its priorities and themes.

The KAFD marks its Silver Jubilee at the end of this year, an occasion to reflect on its key milestones and achievements while looking ahead through the new 2027-2029 strategy, reinforcing the continuity of its development role and the advancement of its tools and programs.
