Focus Areas

AGFUND believes in the sustainability of human development and poverty alleviation and struggles to enable vulnerable groups (women and children, people with special needs, displaced people and refugees etc..) to exercise their civil rights in their communities and lead a dignified social and economic existence with improved living conditions. AGFUND focuses in the following areas.
Early Childhood Development

Children and women are the two categories targeted by AGFUND in its efforts to support and finance human development projects in developing communities.

Women’s Empowerment

Civil Society Development
Civil Society Development

AGFUND realized that civil society is the right hand of governments not only in development, but also in mustering idle economic and human resources and powers, in engaging all societal categories in this process not leaving anyone under poverty and deprivation.
