The total net value of technical assistance and grants extended by the Fund reached about US$
428 million on June 30, 2014.
Apart from the aid provided directly by the Government and Kuwait Fund to developing
countries, the State of Kuwait also makes contributions to the resources of a number of regional
and international institutions involved in assisting developing countries in their economic and
social development. Over the past years, the Fund made contributions on behalf of the State of
Kuwait to the capital and replenishment of resources of some regional and international financing
institutions.
In certain circumstances, the Government of the State of Kuwait provides assistance in the
form of grants to finance urgently needed projects including schools, hospitals, housing facilities and
other social amenities especially in post-conflict situations or where countries faced consequences
of natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and extreme drought. Such grants are normally
administered and supervised by the Fund. All projects financed from the proceeds of government
grants are governed by the procedures applicable to Kuwait Fund supported projects, with due
consideration to the nature and objectives of the former type of projects.
The total value of grants extended by the government reached around $4,490 million on June 30,
2014. The beneficiaries included 16 Arab countries, 18 African countries, and three Asian countries,
one country in Latin America and the Caribbean region, and one institution.
Recognizing the importance of advice and consultation, the Fund has since its inception availed
its partners of the advisory services of its professional staff in the field of engineering, economics,
finance and law. Over time, they have helped recipient countries in the various project cycle activities
including, inter alia, advice on the preparation of feasibility studies, conditions of contract and
tender documents, selection of consultants, contractors, and suppliers, as well as sharing with them
the Funds experiences and lessons drawn in respect of similar operations. The advisory activities
have been a major part of the daily responsibilities, duties, and tasks of the Funds professional
staff.
The Funds activities are guided by flexible policies, simplified procedures, and transparent
practices with the aim of sparing recipients the burden of unduly rigid operational guidelines and
directives. The Funds main concern in applying its policies and lending conditions is to ensure the
timely and orderly implementation of projects and the realization of their expected benefits.
Having been involved in development operations over a relatively long period, the Fund has
gained considerable experience, with lessons drawn leading to the adoption and the implementation
of best practices in executing development projects.
In conjunction with its long standing development efforts, the Fund has over time been able to
maintain close cooperation with its various development partners and contribute to the promotion
of friendly relations between them and the State of Kuwait.
