The Saudi Fund for Development (SFD) Chief Executive Officer, H.E. Sultan Al-Marshad, signed today two developmental Framework Memorandum of Understandings (MoUs) with the Prime Minister of the Republic of Haiti, Hon. Ariel Henry and the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade of Jamaica, Hon. Kamina Johnson Smith in the presence of the Prime Minister of Jamaica, Hon. Andrew Holness. The signing ceremony took place on the sidelines of the Saudi – CARICOM Summit held in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The purpose of these MoUs is to establish a framework for promoting development cooperation, and to provide development support in various sectors in Jamaica and Haiti through SFD. Through these MoUs, projects in key developmental sectors will be identified and SFD will aim to provide funding to support the socio-economic and sustainable development of both countries.
Both MoUs are a testament to SFD’s commitment to supporting sustainable development in the Caribbean region, and reaffirm the importance of international cooperation and solidarity to achieve the SDGs and foster social and economic growth, particularly, in Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
In line with its mission to promote global sustainable development since 1975, SFD has funded more than 800 development projects worth $20 billion in over 100 countries around world. The SFD has been actively engaged in development projects within CARICOM member states for nearly four decades.
