Aga Khan Foundation

The AGA KHAN FOUNDATION is committed to bringing lasting benefits to project participants. It is equally committed to bringing valuable lessons to the attention of policymakers and others whose decisions affect the lives of the poor.

Aims

The Foundation shares what it learns with the public, raising awareness of important issues facing disadvantaged sectors of the international community.The Foundation focuses on a small number of specific development problems by forming intellectual and financial partnerships with organisations sharing its objectives.

Funding Programme

With few exceptions, the Foundation funds programmes in countries where it has offices and local professional staff to monitor implementation (South and Central Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East).

Before developing full proposals, enquiries should be made to the Foundation office in the country where the proposal originates or where the project would be executed; if there is no local AKF branch or affiliate, enquiries may be addressed to the Foundation office in Geneva.
