      Der Transform Fund ist auf die Ziele der Vereinten Nationen für nachhaltige Entwicklung ausgerichtet und steht Innovatoren, Wissenschaftlern, Unternehmen, NGOs, Regierungen und akademischen Institutionen offen. Transform wird Hand in Hand mit ENGAGE operieren, dem neuen Online-Hub der IsDB, der konzipiert wurde, um Innovatoren in den sich entwickelnden Gemeinden Zugang zu Marktchancen und Finanzierungsmöglichkeiten zu geben. 

      In seiner Rede anlässlich der Fondseinführung während der Jahreshauptversammlung der IsDB Group in Tunesien sagte H.E. Dr. Bandar Hajjar, President der Islamischen Entwicklungsbank:

      "Die IsDB weiß, dass die Menschen in den Entwicklungsländern mehr als nur finanzielle Unterstützung benötigen. Sie brauchen nachhaltige Lösungen, die ihnen helfen, ihren eigenen Weg aus der Armut zu finden. Transform wird gewährleisten, dass die Mitglieder Zugang zu allen notwendigen Einrichtungen haben, um innovative Ideen zu finanzieren, die mit echten Entwicklungslösungen verbunden sind".

      Die Auflegung des Fonds stand unter Leitung von Dr. Hayat Sindi, Chief Scientific Advisor der IsDB. Sie erklärte: "Wir wollen echte Veränderungen für Millionen von Menschen bewirken, indem wir jedem Wissenschaftler und Innovator die Möglichkeit geben, etwas zu bewegen. Die von Transform unterstützten Projekte werden sowohl den lokalen Gemeinschaften in unseren Mitgliedsländern als auch den muslimischen Gemeinschaften in Drittländern zugute kommen".

      Die IsDB gab darüber hinaus die Einrichtung von zwei hochrangigen Gremien bekannt. Dem Wissenschaftlichen Beirat der IsDB gehören zehn der weltweit führenden Wissenschaftler an, darunter: Ihre Exzellenz Frau Grace Naledi Mandisa Pandor, Ministerin für Hochschulwesen und Weiterbildung in Südafrika; und Prof. Zakri Abdul Hamid, Wissenschaftlicher Berater des Premierministers von Malaysia. Sie geben Hilfestellung bei der Festlegung der Strategie der Bank, und helfen bei der Prüfung von Finanzierungsanträgen.

      Zusätzlich dazu wird ein Treuhänderausschuss für den Transform-Fonds seine Expertise zur Verfügung stellen, um zu gewährleisten, dass der Fonds sein Ziel, den Fortschritt durch Wissenschaft, Technologie und Innovation voranzutreiben, erreichen kann.

      Zu seinen Mitgliedern zählen: Mehmet Simsek, Stellvertretender Ministerpräsident der Türkei; Helle Thorning-Schmidt, CEO Save the Children International; und Richard Curtis, Initiator von Project Everyone, Drehbuchautor und Regisseur.

      Weitere Informationen zu den Ausschussmitgliedern und die Möglichkeit, Bewerbungen einzureichen, finden Sie unter http://www.isdb-engage.org, oder schicken Sie eine Anfrage per E-Mail an [email protected].
