The world is experiencing tremendous challenges these days, and it is facing a severe ordeal. The spread of the Corona virus (Covid-19) is a threat to the countries of the world without exception.
This epidemic has brought about challenges in all sectors, especially the health, economic and financial sectors.
However, our hope and optimism fill us in the end of this ordeal quickly.
Today, more than ever, we are in desperate need of strengthening cooperation and solidarity together, and investing in the health, education and technology sectors to build a stronger world.
Difficult situations always show the hardness of the metal and the strength of determination. Our mission, values, and goals have not changed by this current position. On the contrary, this ordeal has increased our focus and gained us strength and persistence.
At Abu Dhabi Fund for Development, we are always ready to assist and collaborate and to create creative creative solutions to provide the necessary support to alleviate the repercussions of this epidemic. The message of the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development - since its inception - is to assist developing countries in achieving sustainable economic growth, and the conclusion of global partnerships and joint investments in projects Development to advance societies.
There is no better time than now to cooperate more broadly and focus on achieving recovery.
Our research and experience show that societies and countries in the recovery phase have common factors in them. These societies and countries adopt modern technology and take advantage of their potential to benefit, invest in the education sector, and strengthen the infrastructure of the health care sector.
In the midst of these current conditions of the emergence of the emerging "Corona" virus, an important lesson that we must not miss is the focus and increased investments in the fields of technology infrastructure, digital education and health.
We must treat these three sectors as central pillars and pillars of sustainable development, economic growth, prosperity and recovery.
All studies, especially now, indicate the importance of investing in these sectors, bearing in mind that the health care sector and its employees provide the most wonderful examples of hard work and dedication, understanding the first line of protection to overcome this epidemic.
A viable and practical solution to this has been to increase the capacity of the healthcare sector and to respond quickly to all developments.
It has also become clear to all of us that traditional economic activity that is not based on technology faces great challenges in these current times, which are witnessing a period of isolation and isolation between countries.
The imperative of social separation has led to the closure of offices, schools, and commercial centers, and the educational process has stopped in its traditional forms.
Countries with modern, advanced and robust infrastructure in digital technology and education and good health systems will survive this difficult ordeal faster than others. Countries that take the "Covid-19" pandemic as an opportunity and challenge to push the pace of digital transformation and increase its pace are the countries that are able to continue their economic activity even in times of isolation and social divergence.
At Abu Dhabi Fund for Development, we always put our solutions in mind. They are our main focus and goal. Since our establishment in 1971, we have funded more than a thousand projects in 94 countries around the world. Development and innovation have been our approach. We have succeeded in empowering these societies and have achieved positive results.
Today, we continue our usual approach, and take into account the interests of our partners in different societies in these current circumstances, and we are interested in developing countries around the world. We will continue to provide assistance and support to create and finance projects in various sectors of technology, health and education, to support and support societies in achieving development, economic growth and recovery to enable them to overcome challenges such as those we face today.
At the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development, we will continue to play our active role in stimulating economic growth by expanding the range of financing operations targeting development, while providing support to the national economy at the same time. Thanks to technological innovation and education, it helped us to work in solidarity, not alone, in this period.
As individuals and societies line up to tackle this dangerous virus, Abu Dhabi Fund for Development joins hands with them and the frontline heroes to enhance capacities and capabilities and provide support and assistance. We cannot help but offer the highest verses of appreciation and praise to our wise leadership that deals with this crisis with wisdom and perseverance and is dedicated to providing resources and directing individuals to resolutely respond to this epidemic. Our wise leadership is a source of our pride and pride, and we are inspired by energy and determination to face challenges.
Last but not least, do not forget that the challenges, no matter how difficult they are, will not last, and this epidemic, however high it will inevitably, will end, and the path of sustainable development, the welfare of society and economic empowerment will continue for deadlines and deadlines. Optimally.
