Since its establishment fifty years ago, the Arab Coordination Group (ACG) has played a vital role in advancing global development. With contributions exceeding $280 billion, the Group has significantly improved living standards for millions and supported economic growth in developing countries.
The strength of the ACG goes beyond funding. We play advisory role to each other; we share knowledge, expertise and training. AGFUND has presented some initiatives that were supported by members of the ACG.
Over the past five decades, the Group has provided more than 5,000 loans to support development projects across vital sectors — including education, health, infrastructure, energy, and water — as well as rapid response to crises and disasters. These efforts have had a profound impact on improving the lives of millions in developing countries around the world, particularly across the African continent.
Over the past five years, the Group has launched a number of impactful initiatives in response to global development challenges. Among the most notable are the COVID-19 response, food security, climate finance, support for the African continent, just energy transition, and combating desertification — with total commitments amounting to nearly USD 100 billion through 2030.
Mauritania has benefited from strong support by members of the Arab Coordination Group, including the Fund, across several vital sectors such as energy, water, and infrastructure. We thank the Group for its continued support and commitment to our country, and we wish it continued success year after year.
The Arab Coordination group is an example of successful partnership. The 10 organizations members of the Arab coordination group have been working hand in hand over the past 50 years to deliver impact across the world.
As we look ahead, Azerbaijan remains committed to strengthening this partnership -and we wish the ACG continued success in its mission to foster sustainable, inclusive development across the Global South.
We have been having a stand strategic relationship with different members of the Arab Coordination group, so we wish that this celebration for the 50th anniversary will be the beginning of the best phase of the history of the group and hopefully an opportunity to strengthen the relationship.
For fifty years, the Arab Coordination Group has harnessed collective action to become one of the world's leading development finance institutions. Through high-impact partnerships and innovative financing approaches, it advances sustainable development, empowers communities, and builds lasting resilience, prosperity, and stability worldwide.
Today, we proudly mark five decades of the Arab Coordination Group's achievements since 1975. Abu Dhabi Fund for Development has led this journey, financing transformative projects in energy, infrastructure, education, healthcare, and water—driving growth, creating jobs, and fostering sustainable development. This milestone renews our commitment to global prosperity.
Since its founding in 1975, the ACG has stood as a cornerstone of sustainable development worldwide. Bound by a shared vision and united in purpose, the ACG has championed transformative projects across vital sectors from infrastructure to education, from healthcare to agriculture reaching more than 160 countries.
Over the past half century, the ACG has become the world's second-largest development finance coalition. The group has exemplified the power of partnership, demonstrating that collective action achieves more. Together, members advanced sustainable development, strengthened South-South cooperation and delivered lasting impact. The OPEC Fund is proud to stand alongside partners.
The ACG has stood as a beacon of solidarity, financing hope, progress, and opportunity across continents. From infrastructure and energy, to education, health, and climate resilience, the Group has been a trusted partner in translating development visions into tangible results that improve millions of lives.
As we celebrate the remarkable first fifty years of the ACG, let's also imagine the next 50: a future of even deeper collaboration, shared prosperity, and lasting impact. So, congratulations once again on this milestone. We look forward to shaping the future together.
Looking forward, the achievements of the past 50 years provide a strong foundation for even greater Southern-led leadership, collaboration, and impact to tackle the most pressing challenges of our time. May the next 50 years bring deeper solidarity, stronger cooperation, and shared progress.
It's a great honor to celebrate this 50-year anniversary of cooperation. Half a century of impactful work. The golden Jubilee of the Arab Coordination Group is not only anniversary, it's a celebration of both vision and dedication.
The Arab Fund is proud to be one of the first institutions to support the ACG. We at Arab Fund have an important role in our beneficiary countries. We provided about 15 billion US dollar to co-finance infrastructure projects in different countries, and we will continue to support the ACG mission to maximize development impact.
Together with ACG and GPE, we have mobilized 850 million for the Smart Ed Initiative, supporting countries like Chad, Cameroon, Kyrgyz Republic, and Uzbekistan to build stronger, more inclusive education system. The Smart Ed Initiative has catalyzed transformative investments, improving access to quality education, enhancing learning outcomes, and supporting national reforms.
The Group continues to serve as an important catalyst for international development, supporting nations in need, which is a clear commitment from its own shareholders to ensure that they provide the support needed.
