instrument of the OIC.
A Vision for Human Dignity
VISION

development” of the people


Empower the Sisters of Islam without breaching the
tenets of Islam


A Vision for Human Dignity
Reform IDB – Strategic Thrust

The changes in the strategic environment impinging
upon IDB

Changes to the IDB Vision and Mission that the
Commission proposes multiply the demands on the
Bank and make reform imperative.

Adjustments to the focus and priorities of the Bank,
and the additional responsibilities the Bank is being
asked to undertake also require changes to IDB
organisation, and a very substantial enhancement of
its capacity and resources.
A Vision for Human Dignity
Alleviate Poverty – Strategic Thrust

Alleviating poverty must continue to be the most
important comprehensive human development focus
of the IDB Group, until poverty is no longer a
prominent feature of the Muslim landscape.

Nothing detracts from wellbeing and dignity like
poverty.

Along with poverty there is hunger, malnutrition,
illiteracy, disease, crime and instability.

Poor people are not respected. They are looked down
upon.

The Muslim world cannot regain its dignity and
esteem
if so many of its inhabitants are destitute.
A Vision for Human Dignity
Promote Health – Strategic Thrust
 This Key Strategic Thrust should address the
most severe and debilitating threats to health in the
Muslim world. These are:




Child mortality
Maternal health
Diseases including HIV/AIDS and malaria,
Environmental sustainability
(access to safe drinking water and sanitation).
A Vision for Human Dignity
Universalize Education – Strategic Thrust
 IDB should set a target of universalizing both
primary as well as secondary education by 1440
Hijrah.
A Vision for Human Dignity
Prosper the People – Strategic Thrust

All countries, whether rich or poor, Muslim or
non-Muslim, desire greater prosperity.

The role that IDB will be essentially in the
form of providing policy recommendations and
advice, consultancy services and as a
knowledge bank.
A Vision for Human Dignity
Empower the Sisters of Islam – Strategic Thrust

The Sisters of Islam are the greatest reservoir
of untapped wealth and unfulfilled dignity
that the Muslim world has.

In a few Muslim countries, women are more
economically,
socially
and
politically
empowered than even in some Western nations.
A Vision for Human Dignity
Expand the Islamic Financial Industry – Strategic
Thrust

Islamic banking and finance is a signature
product of IDB. They are virtually synonymous
with each other.

IDB also needs to dramatically increase its
financial resources and operations if it is to
successfully implement the many added
responsibilities that are being contemplated for
it.

The expansion and improvement of the Islamic
financial industry is, therefore, a matter of
considerable urgency.
A Vision for Human Dignity
Facilitate Integration of Member Country
Economies – Strategic Thrust

Economic cooperation and integration in the
face of globalization is absolutely essential for
IDB Member Countries

It enables national economies to reduce
economic
barriers
against
each
other,
synergize on each other’s strengths and
potentials for mutual benefit, and opens new
doors for wealth creation.

It also protects the weaker economies against
the predatory pressures of the strong.
A Vision for Human Dignity
Improve the Image of the Muslim World – Strategic
Thrust
Terrorism notwithstanding, the battle for the
Muslim world’s image will be essentially won or
lost
on
the
battlefield
of
comprehensive
development.


If the Muslim world, OIC and IDB are able to
realize the Vision of IDB to a significant degree
by 1440 Hijrah, the image of Muslims will
improve dramatically
