News from 2014-02-10 / KfW Development Bank

He is not only an expert on development issues, but also the spiritual leader of the Nizari Ismailis: His Highness Prince Aga Khan IV, founder of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), recently visited KfW in Berlin. He met Dr Norbert Kloppenburg, Member of the KfW Group’s Executive Board, and Bruno Wenn, CEO of DEG. The meetings, which lasted about two hours, focused on the long-standing cooperation between KfW Development Bank, DEG and the AKDN.

Cooperation particularly in “fragile states”

KfW and DEG have been cooperating with the AKDN, the world’s largest private development network, for many years now, particularly in so-called “fragile states” affected by crises and conflicts. The Aga Kahn Development Network has outstanding local knowledge, especially in Afghanistan and other countries in Central Asia. The employees know the socio-cultural conditions, are familiar with circumstances on the ground and maintain good contacts with the local communities and non-governmental organisations.
