Human Development Fund Signs Strategic Partnership with the Islamic Development Bank to Expand Community Empowerment Across Eight Countries

CANTON TOWNSHIP, Mich., Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Human Development Fund (HDF) has signed a strategic partnership agreement with the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) under the Tadamon 2.0 Community Empowerment Program. The two organizations signed the agreement at IsDB headquarters in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The partnership will expand HDF's development work across eight countries. It focuses on sustainable livelihoods, economic empowerment, capacity building, and strengthening local civil society organizations.

Tadamon 2.0 is the second phase of IsDB's flagship poverty-reduction program. It works to reduce poverty in hard-to-reach communities across member countries and to build the capacity of the local organizations that serve them. HDF's agreement places its on-the-ground programs within that framework and connects its work to a leading multilateral development institution.

For HDF, the partnership marks a step in the organization's continued growth. It opens the door to deeper institutional partnerships and longer-term impact in the communities HDF serves.

"We have spent years building programs that put communities in the lead. This partnership with IsDB lets that work reach further. Across eight countries, it gives local organizations the support to serve their own people for the long term. This is a meaningful step toward lasting change for the communities we serve." - Abdirahman Kariye, CEO of the Human Development Fund.
