Abu Dhabi Development Fund Unveils Ambitious 2030 Strategy to Drive Sustainable Growth

The Abu Dhabi Fund for Development has unveiled its 2030 strategy, focusing on sustainable economic growth worldwide while boosting UAE's national economy through export financing and opening new markets for Emirati exporters. The plan comes after 54 years of global development work and aims to create lasting positive impact through innovative financing solutions.

The strategy centers on improving efficiency across priority development sectors while creating new financial tools and solutions. It aligns with global best practices in development work and strengthens partnerships with regional and international development institutions working on sustainable development.

Mohammed Saif Al Suwaidi, Director General of Abu Dhabi Fund for Development, said the new strategy arrives at a pivotal moment in the fund's journey. After more than five decades of global development leadership, this framework will help achieve sustainable positive impact that supports both international economic development and national economic growth.

The fund will adopt flexible financing solutions that meet the needs of beneficiary countries while supporting Emirati exporters. These integrated tools will help the fund take a proactive approach to adapt to rapid economic changes in the global development landscape.

The strategy also focuses on building institutional capabilities and developing human resources, which Al Suwaidi emphasized as the core element for implementing the strategy with high quality and efficiency standards.

The fund will continue supporting projects that accelerate economic and social development in developing countries. Priority sectors include infrastructure development, energy, agriculture, water, food security, education, and health services. The fund will also focus on major global issues like women's empowerment, climate change, and advanced technology while working toward UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Through this five-year strategy, the fund aims to become "a leading entity in sustainable development and export support worldwide." Its mission focuses on driving sustainable development and economic growth through innovative financing solutions that support national development and exports by expanding partnerships.

The strategy reinforces the UAE's position as an active force in shaping the future of global development. The fund plans to finance model projects that contribute to global prosperity while supporting national economic growth and diversification.
