Qatar Fund for Development
The Qatar Fund for Development (acronym: QFFD, Arabic: صندوق قطر للتنمية) is a government entity in the State of Qatar, which is responsible for Qatar's international development and foreign aid; it was established by Law 19 of 2002.[1] The QFFD also coordinates Qatar's charitable and development institutions[2] and the Director-General is Khalifa Jassim Al-Kuwari.[3] In May 2017, the QFFD met with UNESCO to discuss the UNESCO Heritage Emergency Fund, which the QFFD helps fund, though other areas of cooperation were also incorporated into the discussion.[4] Qatar has also pledged to help Rohingya refugees in Malaysia using the money from the QFFD.[5] According to the OECD, Qatar provided US$534 million official development assistance in 2020.[6]
