4 About ADFD Facts and figures Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD) was set up in 1971 as part of the UAE government s efforts to support sustainable economic and social development across the developing world. Over the past four and half decades, ADFD has extended concessionary loans to developing countries around the globe to help finance development projects. The focus has been on key infrastructure sectors such as electricity, water, road networks, social and health services and education, as these sectors play an important role in strengthening societies and economies by providing a decent livelihood for people and stimulating economic progress. In addition, ADFD manages government grants to projects that play a key role in shaping the growth of these countries. ADFD s responsibilities in this regard include the direct supervision and follow-up on specific projects, including their implementation, operations and assessing how they are meeting predetermined objectives. The Fund also invests in the private sector in various developing countries to support development across vital sectors to create thousands of job opportunities for the citizens of beneficiary countries.
