KFAED, UK sign MoUs to assist Sudan, Somalia
Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development KUWAIT: The Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development (KFAED) signed two memoranda of understanding (MoUs) with the United Kingdom's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) to deliver joint emergency humanitarian aid to conflict-affected populations in Sudan and Somalia. In a statement to KUNA on Sunday, KFAED announced that both sides will jointly provide a humanitarian grant totaling $10 million—$5 million from each party—to support the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) in Sudan. The assistance will help maintain access to essential services including healthcare, nutrition, water, sanitation, and child protection for vulnerable populations in the country. An additional grant of $5 million ($2.5 million from each side) will be allocated to finance a joint project supporting the efforts of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Somalia, the Fund added. Acting Director General of KFAED Waleed Al-Bahar said the agreements underscore the Fund's commitment to strengthening international partnerships in humanitarian relief, development, and peacebuilding. He emphasized that this renewed cooperation with the UK will facilitate the exchange of expertise and unify efforts to assist the most vulnerable communities in Sudan and Somalia, while reinforcing Kuwait's leading humanitarian role regionally and globally. Mamadou Sow, Head of the ICRC Regional Delegation for the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, praised the partnership as a symbol of shared humanitarian commitment. He noted that the grant goes beyond financial support, sending a strong message of solidarity with the Somali people. 'This cooperation aims to restore vital services in long-marginalized communities, reflecting Kuwait's long-standing humanitarian leadership and the UK's enduring role in promoting global solidarity,' he said. The MoUs were signed by Foreign Minister and Chairman of KFAED's Board of Directors Abdullah Al-Yahya on behalf of Kuwait, and UK Minister of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs David Lammy on behalf of the British government. These MoUs fall under the framework of a cooperation agreement signed in February 2020 between KFAED and the UK's former Department for International Development, establishing the foundation for joint humanitarian action to improve living conditions for refugees, displaced persons, and communities impacted by wars and natural disasters worldwide. — KUNA
