It collaborates with around 125 country partners and the international donor community to stimulate economic growth and reduce poverty by financing infrastructure, social services, and programs that boost productivity, competitiveness, and trade. Its work centers on people, prioritizing projects that address basic needs such as food, energy, clean water and sanitation, healthcare, and education to foster self-reliance and hope. The organization operates within the financial services industry from its Vienna base, led by Dr. Abdulhamid Alkhalifa, who has served as Director-General and CEO since 2018. A notable development in 2026 includes the launch of the Green-Blue Connect Accelerator to advance water resilience and climate-related solutions during Climate Solutions Week, reflecting an emphasis on climate and sustainability in its program mix.
