Founded and guided by His Highness the Aga Khan, the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) brings together a number of development agencies, institutions, and programmes that work primarily in the poorest parts of Asia and Africa. A central feature of the AKDN’s approach to development is to design and implement strategies in which its different agencies participate in particular settings to help those in need achieve a level of self-reliance and improve the quality of life.
Pluralism is a central pillar of AKDN’s ethical framework
Although, the agencies of the AKDN are private, international, non-denominational development organisations, the work of the AKDN is underpinned by the ethical principles of Islam – particularly consultation, solidarity with those less fortunate, self-reliance and human dignity. But AKDN does not restrict its work to a particular community, country or region. Its focus is on poor areas of the developing world, but it also conducts programmes in North America and Europe. Pluralism is a central pillar of AKDN’s ethical framework: AKDN aims to improve living conditions and opportunities for people regardless of their particular religion, race, ethnicity, or gender. AKDN employees are also of different faiths, origins and backgrounds.
