17 Box 1 Water Projects in Arab Countries Water resources in the Arab World are characterized by severe scarcity, as about 67% of its total area receives less than 100 mm/year of rainfall; thus, it is classified as desert and semi-desert. Arab countries suffer from severe strains on their available water resources. As the Arab World represents about 10% of the world s area and about 5% of its total population, it has only less than 0.5% of the world s renewable fresh water resources, which makes it among the world lowest rated in water per capita with approximately 700 m 3 per year, compared to the world average which exceeds 6000 m 3, and it is expected to decline to reach the water poverty level (500 m 3 /year) by the year The total renewable water resources in the Arab World are estimated at about 260 billion m 3 /year and are not all utilizable, as some of these resources are considered marginal and are far away from consumption areas. It should be noted that more than half of the water resources in Arab countries come from outside the Arab region, which constitutes an important issue for Arab water security, as these resources are subject to shortage and to deterioration in quality, especially in the absence of international agreements that secure the rights of Arab countries. Total water consumption in Arab countries is currently about 235 billion m 3, of which about 84% is allocated for agricultural purposes, and the remainder for domestic and industrial purposes. The harsh climatic conditions and the scarcity of water in the Arab region have negatively affected food security in this region, as it has shifted from being nearly self-sufficient in the early seventies to becoming the most dependent region in the world on food imports. The Arab World imports half of its food, despite the large investments made by the agricultural Arab countries to utilize most of their water resources for agriculture and implement major irrigation projects. Since its inception and until the end of 2016, the Arab Fund has provided 161 loans to finance dams, irrigation, drinking water and sewerage projects, for a total amount of about KD 2.4 billion. Dams and irrigation projects represented about 63% of this amount, and drinking water and sewerage projects represented about 37%. The share of loans in the water sector accounted for about 25% of the total Arab Fund s loans over that period, which reflects the importance and priority given to this sector. Among the most important water projects financed by the Arab Fund, are Merowe dam in Sudan, Wehdah dam in Morocco, Sidi El-Barraq dam in Tunisia, Bani Haroun dam in Algeria, conveyance of the Litani water to southern Lebanon for irrigation and drinking purposes, completion of the water conveyor from the Senegal river to supply the city of Nouakchott in Mauritania with drinking water, and the Fustat project to supply greater Cairo with drinking water in Egypt. As for sewerage projects, the Arab Fund s contributions focused on the development of sewerage facilities and networks in some Arab countries. Annual Report

18 In its continued support to the efforts of Arab countries for the development of the water sector, the Arab Fund provided, in 2016, four loans for a total amount of KD 220 million, which constitutes about 50% of the total amount of loans provided during the year. These loans were extended for the implementation of the following projects: construction of Saida and Kalaa Kebira dams and related water conveyance in Tunisia, Roseires Irrigation (phase I) in Sudan, water supply and development of the agricultural system in the Sinai peninsula in Egypt, and transmission lines of desalinated water from Al Ghubrah to Al Seeb and from Barka to Ad Dakhiliya governorate in Oman. During the year, the Arab Fund also provided two grants, for a total amount of KD 320 thousand, for a water conservation program in southern Tunisia, and for the twelfth Gulf water conference to discuss water sector issues in the Arabian Gulf region. Over the past four decades, Arab countries have focused on the development of water resources through the construction of dams and the drilling of wells, and the transfer of water to meet the demand for drinking and industrial purposes, in order to increase agricultural production through the development of irrigated areas, and develop drinking water and sewerage services. The Arab Fund gave priority to the water sector in Arab countries, and supported their efforts to implement their plans, strategies and national policies to develop water resources and provide them for different uses. Despite the efforts to rationalize the use of available water resources, there still remains an urgent need to support and intensify efforts to face the challenges of water scarcity. Water projects are given priority in the Arab Fund s strategy, through the financing of studies and projects that are a priority in the development plans and programs of member countries. 18 Annual Report 2016

19 Second: Grants Grants During 2016 Many grant applications were reviewed during 2016, and priorities were determined in coordination with the concerned institutions in member countries, subject to available resources.

Table 3 presents these grants. The Arab Fund continued to give priority to activities that reinforce institutional support and training, with 12 grants allocated to these activities for a total amount of about KD 3.3 million, representing about 84.3% of total grants provided during the year. These grants included 7 national grants for a total amount of about KD 1.8 million, and 5 inter-arab grants for a total amount of about KD 1.5 million.

The grants provided during 2016 included 3 grants, for a total amount of about KD 0.4 million, for general studies and research in a number of countries. These grants, representing about 11.3% of the total amount of grants provided during the year, aimed at conducting studies on solar technologies, water conservation and waste management. The grants provided during the year also contributed to the organization of a number of seminars and conferences, for a total amount of about KD 0.2 million representing about 4.4% of total grants, on topics of common interest to most Arab countries. Table 4 shows the grant commitments by activity. Cumulative Grants The total amount of grants provided by the Arab Fund, since the beginning of its operations and until the end of 2016, amounted to about KD million, of which about KD million contributed to the financing of 1111 national and inter-arab grants, and about KD million to support the Palestinian people through the Urgent Program and the Program to Support the Resistance of Jerusalem. The number of national grants provided reached 586 for a total amount of about KD million, and were allocated as follows: about KD 75.2 million for institutional support and training, about KD 17.1 million for feasibility studies and project preparation, about KD 5.9 million for general studies and research, and KD 183 thousand for seminars and conferences. These grants, provided to most Arab countries, aimed at improving the performance of specialized institutions, enhancing the quality of services they provide, training their employees and managers, developing their information systems and statistics, undertaking population censuses, supporting the activities of several research centers, and preserving national heritage. Furthermore, national grants included grants for a total amount of about KD 50.9 million, which were allocated to support emergency programs to alleviate the effects of natural disasters, local disturbances, or damage caused by external aggression on some Arab countries. Annual Report

20 The number of inter-arab grants provided reached 525 for a total amount of about KD 65.7 million, and were allocated as follows: about KD 38.1 million to provide institutional support and training programs in several specialized scientific and research centers, about KD 13.2 million to undertake general studies and research in various economic and social development areas, about KD 6.4 million to conduct feasibility studies for specific projects, about KD 5.1 million to organize seminars and conferences to discuss priority developmental issues for Arab countries, and about KD 2.9 million to implement emergency programs. The cumulative contributions provided by the Arab Fund to support the Palestinian people within the framework of the Urgent Program, since its beginning in 2001 and until the end of 2016, amounted to about KD million, and within the framework of the Program to Support the Resistance of Jerusalem, in 2010 and 2016, amounted to about KD 29.7 million. Grant Cumulative disbursements of grants approved over the period amounted to about KD million, including about KD million for national and inter-arab grants, and about KD million for the Urgent Program to Support the Palestinian People and the Program to Support the Resistance of Jerusalem. Annex 7 provides a summary of these grants over that period. During 2016, a total of 34 grants, amounting to about KD 5.8 million, were completed. This brought the total number of national and inter- Arab grants completed during the period to 949, with a cumulative amount of about KD million, while a total of 117 grants, amounting to about KD 53.6 million, remain under execution. Moreover, the total number of reimbursed and fully cancelled grants reached 45, for a total amount of about KD 8.5 million. Support to the Palestinian People Since the beginning of its operations, the Arab Fund has provided support to Palestine with the aim of limiting the destructive effects of the occupation s policies and the deprivation of the Palestinian people from mobilizing their resources and building their civil society. The total amount of contributions made by the Arab Fund to Palestine, over the period , reached about KD million, including about KD million in the form of grants, and the remaining as concessional loans provided to the Palestinian National Authority. The Program to Support the Resistance of Jerusalem: In accordance with the Arab Summit s decisions regarding support to the city of Jerusalem, the Arab Fund allocated in 2016 an urgent program in an amount of US Dollars 50.0 million (equivalent to about KD 15.3 million) to support the resistance of the Palestinian people in the holy city of Jerusalem, in addition to its contribution to the Urgent Program to Support the Palestinian People. The program aims at supporting institutions and civil societies in their efforts to improve education, health and social services. The program includes the development of school curricula, teaching support and improvement of the quality of teaching in kindergartens by providing a safe learning environment for children, as well as training of teachers in modern teaching and education techniques for students, in addition to the development of the infrastructure of schools in Jerusalem. The program also includes the implementation of housing projects to provide suitable housing to marginalized groups and to those whose houses have been destroyed with the aim to rid the city of an Arab presence. This program also aims at contributing to the support of health institutions to provide appropriate specialized health services for the residents of Jerusalem and other areas, the development of the capacities of the private sector to achieve sustainable economic development through the provision of business development services and 20 Annual Report 2016

21 financial services, as well as the support of renovation and rehabilitation works of buildings in the old town of Jerusalem. The Urgent Program to Support the Palestinian People: The Arab Fund continued its efforts to support the Palestinian people within the framework of the Urgent Program to Support the Palestinian People, renewed annually since During 2016, the Arab Fund allocated an amount of about KD 7.8 million, or about 10% of the Arab Fund s net income for 2015, to contribute to the fourteenth phase of the program. Thus, the total contribution of the Arab Fund to this program over the period reached about KD million, and disbursements reached about KD million. The program contributed to the support of Palestine in various economic and social sectors within the framework of developmental priorities and programs. It contributed to the support of primary and university education by allowing for the construction and rehabilitation of school buildings to accommodate the growing numbers of students, and the support of educational institutions which were on the verge on collapse by allowing students to maintain their enrollment in universities and educational institutions to continue their educational role. The program also included support to institutions and civil societies which provide health, education and social services to the local community, to enable them to continue providing their services to the target groups. The Urgent Program included the development of infrastructure through the construction and rehabilitation of internal and rural roads, the improvement of the electrical grid to illuminate the rural areas, the provision of housing to the marginalized groups, the provision of drinking water to the rural areas, the reclamation and development of agricultural land to stop the settlement crawl, as well as the development of small and medium enterprises and support to the role of the private sector to achieve sustainable development. The program also contributed to the provision of specialized health services for heart disease, diabetes, ophthalmology and obstetrics, as well as medical equipment and devices to hospitals and medical centers, thereby allowing for the opportunity to forego medical services provided by Israel. In addition, the program contributed to the qualification and training of doctors in various medical specializations, and allowed for outstanding students to continue their university education in prestigious universities and educational institutions. The program also contributed to the reinforcement of the perseverance of the residents of Jerusalem and the Palestinian territories, and the provision of job opportunities for young graduates and their qualification and training.

26 Box 2 The Security, Economic and Cultural Impacts of Antiquities Destruction and Theft in Arab Countries Arab Countries are rich with hundreds of archeological sites that contain valuable antiquities left by the many civilizations which flourished in the region since the dawn of mankind. These antiquities constitute part of the region s cultural heritage and a valuable economic resource, attracting international tourism and providing jobs. Recent political unrest in some countries of the region has led to a weakening of the law enforcement agencies and deterioration in the economic and living conditions of people, which exposed many antiquity sites, museums and antiquity storage warehouses, to looting by criminal gangs and terrorist groups which smuggle and sell their loot to finance their activities. Experts estimate the size of this looting activity in the tens of billions of dollars. This activity has resulted in the deprivation of countries in the region of their cultural heritage, and the destruction and vandalism of archaeological sites, thus inflicting severe damage to the tourism sector in the countries concerned, and undermining the security and stability of those countries, most notably Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Tunisia. Due to its commitment to support the efforts of Arab countries in facing this negative phenomenon and strengthening cooperation between countries of the region to combat it, and in response to a request by a number of concerned Arab countries, the Arab Fund sponsored, in collaboration with the Middle East Institute and the Antiquities Coalition, two international institutions with vast practical experience in security, economic and cultural issue, two regional meetings attended by the ministers in charge of antiquities and culture, and experts from countries of the region and from international institutions. The first meeting was held in Cairo, Egypt during the period May, 2015 and wtended by six countries, while the second meeting was held in Amman, Jordan on September 8, 2016 with the participation of 17 Arab countries. The statements issued at the conclusion of these meetings (the Cairo Statement and the Amman Statement) outlined the required mechanisms to combat this phenomenon and eradicate it, which include information sharing, capacity building, raising of awareness, and coordination at the national, regional and international levels. 26 Annual Report 2016

27 Introduction Third: Joint Arab Action The Arab Fund continued, in 2016, its activities in various areas in support of priority sectors and in response to decisions and directives of the Arab summits, which accorded a special importance to projects and issues related to joint Arab action. The Arab Fund s interventions in support of Arab cooperation were numerous; they included financing of projects, technical and economic studies for Arab interconnection projects, seminars, research, as well as participation in initiatives related to the support of specialized inter- Arab institutions. Thus, the Arab Fund provided support to any activity aimed at achieving Arab integration between member countries. The following provides a brief of the main activities. Coordination between the Arab National and Regional Development Institutions and Cooperation with International Institutions The Arab Fund continued to act as the Coordination Secretariat of the Coordination Group, which includes the Arab national and regional institutions, preparing and participating in their periodic meetings and the meetings of the technical committees, as well as preparing and participating in the Coordination Group s meetings with regional and international financing institutions. During the year, the fifteenth meeting of the Heads of the Coordination Group institutions took place at the headquarters of the OPEC Fund for International Development in Vienna, Austria on January 17, The meeting was dedicated to the discussion of several topics, which included the Global Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation (GPEDC), and the strengthening of cooperation with the World Bank in numerous fields, particularly those related to food and water security, energy, social development, financial markets and poverty reduction. A High Level meeting was also held between the Heads of the Coordination Group Institutions and the Development Assistance Committee of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD/DAC) at the headquarters of the OPEC Fund for International Development on January 18, At this meeting, joint working methods to achieve the sustainable development goals for 2030 were explored. The seventy seventh Coordination Group meeting took place at the headquarters of the OPEC Fund for International Development during the period 9 11 May, At that meeting, many topics were studied and discussed, including partnership between the Coordination Group and the World Bank, for which a work program was agreed upon, and the New Financing Initiative to Support the Middle East and North Africa, for which the members of the Coordination Group expressed their willingness to contribute. The seventy eighth Coordination Group meeting, hosted by the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development during the period October, 2016, was dedicated to the latest developments in those topics, in addition to the discussion of cooperation between the members of the Group regarding the development of the financial and banking sector, as well as the Islamic Development Bank Group s initiative to establish a Lives and Livelihoods Fund. The Arab Fund participated during the year in two meetings related to the New Financing Initiative, which was launched by the Islamic Development Bank Group, the World Bank Annual Report

28 and the United Nations, to support the Middle East and North Africa region through the mobilization of sufficient new financial resources to meet the large needs of the region. The first meeting was held in Amman, Jordan on January 26, 2016, and the second meeting was held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on March 14, Enhancement of Arab Food Security 1. Support to Agricultural Research to Achieve Food Security The Arab Fund continued its efforts to support research and use of modern agricultural technology, as they constitute the proper gateway to achieve sustainable agricultural development and Arab food security. The Arab Fund contributed to the financing of the second phase of the project on Enhancing Food Security in Arab Countries, in cooperation and coordination with the International Center for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA), and national agricultural research centers in ten Arab countries. The Arab Fund worked on mobilizing the necessary funds to implement the second phase of the project in cooperation with various lending institutions such as the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development, the Islamic Development Bank, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the OPEC Fund for International Development. The project resulted in the dissemination of advanced technology ready to be implemented by farmers, the expansion of applied research to address the obstacles faced by farmers such as drought and disease, and the enhancement of the professional and research capabilities of the technical cadre. The project also reinforced the existing strategic partnerships between the national agricultural research centers, ICARDA and the Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), to expand the adoption, circulation and dissemination of modern technology. The use of the technology packages led to an increase in wheat productivity by 30%, a decrease in water use by 25% and an increase in water efficiency in the field by 75%. The second phase of the project will focus on expanding the scope of field implementation of the results among farmers in the Arab countries included in the project, to achieve sustainable growth in the productivity of grain production systems, adopt integrated production management, expand the establishment of model pilot areas to disseminate knowledge and apply the technology on a wide scale, and link these results with the study on Arab food security to implement agricultural development projects. 2. Study of Arab Food Security The Arab Fund provided, in 2014, a grant for the undertaking of a study aimed at achieving Arab food security through development projects in Sudan. The study comprised four tasks: the first task included identification of the magnitude of the Arab food security problem and its impact, and estimation of the food gap up to the year 2030; the second task included assessment of the water and land resources available in Sudan that could contribute to the resolution of the Arab food security problem. The third task involved construction of a mathematical model to determine the best method for the utilization of resources available in Sudan for producing and exporting competitively priced products, both agricultural and industrial. The fourth task involved the development of a timely sectoral plan to study and implement projects in Sudan that would contribute to the achievement of Arab food security. The final report of the study was submitted by the consultant in mid-2016, and steps are currently being taken to implement its recommendations. 28 Annual Report 2016

29 Support to Small and Medium Enterprises The Arab Fund supports the financing of small and medium enterprises in Arab countries through its contribution to the capital of the Special Account in the amount of US Dollars 100 million, as well as through its management of this account for which it provides an independent administration and separate accounts. The Special Account was established to support small and medium private sector enterprises in Arab countries, by providing loans to Arab governments and intermediary Arab financial institutions. To date, a total of 18 Arab countries contributed to the capital of this account, for a total amount of US Dollars 1310 million, of which about US Dollars 1267 million has been paid. The total number of loans provided by the Special Account by the end of December 2016 reached 32, in 12 Arab countries, for a total amount of US Dollars 1136 million; total disbursements of these loans reached about US Dollars million. Arab Trade Finance Trade contributes to the economic and social development of Arab countries, through its support to Arab exports, by enhancing Arab productive capabilities, and through the provision of development requirements including equipment, machinery and devices. The Arab Trade Finance Program aims at achieving the goals of the Agreement for the Facilitation and Promotion of intra-arab Trade, and the Agreement on the Arab Free Trade Area, and enhancing the competitiveness of Arab exports. The Arab Fund contributed to the establishment of this program, in cooperation with the Arab Monetary Fund, and contributed to its capital. The Arab Fund is the second largest contributor to the program, after the Arab Monetary Fund, with a share of about 22.6% of the program s issued and paid-in capital of US Dollars million. By the end of December 2016, the total amount of approved financing requests reached about US Dollars 13.3 billion; these requests were submitted through 217 national agencies in all Arab countries (mostly from national and central banks, in addition to some relevant ministries and institutions). Arab Development Portal The Arab Fund, as a member of the Coordination Group which includes national and regional Arab development institutions, contributed to the financing of a project to develop an Arab Development Portal, aimed at strengthening the management efficiency of development operations in Arab countries and increasing their effectiveness, and providing a platform to access references and information from several sources. The project is being implemented in three phases. The first phase consisted of the development of a database for five themes in Egypt and Tunisia, while in the second phase the scope of the portal was expanded to include several additional themes, and the number of countries involved was increased to include all Arab countries. However, the data collected for the Arab countries was limited to the period Following the successful completion of the first two phases, the Coordination Group institutions are currently financing the third phase of the portal, which is being developed by the UNDP. This phase includes the completion of data on sectors that were not included in the previous two phases, and the addition of data covering the periods and for all sectors and all Arab countries. The third phase also includes the establishment of a protocol by which the database will be automatically updated when any of the contributing national statistics offices updates their data. The implementation of the third phase is expected to last three years, after which the portal will be managed by Annual Report

30 one of the Arab institutions involved in the project or by an independent party. In order to ensure continuous cooperation with the UNDP, the Coordination Group institutions formed a technical committee and a steering committee to oversee the execution of the project. Preparation of the Joint Arab Economic Report The Joint Arab Economic Report is considered an important source of economic and social information on Arab countries, for both researchers and decision makers. The Arab Fund continues its annual participation in the preparation of this report, in cooperation with the General Secretariat of the League of Arab States, the Arab Monetary Fund and the Organization of the Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC). The Arab Fund prepares the chapters of the report on economic and social development, the agriculture and water sector, the industrial sector and Arab development aid. In addition, the Arab Fund prepares, on a rotating basis with the participating institutions, the chapter that addresses the theme of the report. The theme of this year s report, which was prepared by OAPEC, was Non Traditional Oil Sources: Facts and Prospects, and Impact on Arab Countries. Arab Spring Development Initiative In the framework of addressing the pressing developmental issues in Arab countries with a view to closing the knowledge gap within the community of researchers and decision makers, the Arab Spring Development Initiative (ASDI) was launched as a partnership between the World Bank and the Arab Fund, in the context of their longstanding cooperation. The Economic Research Forum (ERF) provides support to the initiative through the supervision of the implementation of the initiative s activities. ASDI, launched in 2014, aims at supporting the developmental efforts of the Arab countries undergoing political and economic transformation, known as the Arab Spring countries, in this critical transitional juncture of their history, through enhanced access to data and knowledge pertaining to the pressing developmental issues for decision makers in these countries. ASDI focuses on three main areas of activity, which are: open access to data and survey-based research and their harmonization and wide dissemination, implementation and publication of policyrelevant research in relation to the political and economic transformation in the Arab Spring countries, and creation of a variety of platforms for policy discussions and dialogue on varying pressing topics for policy makers, researchers and other stakeholders such as the media and various segments of civil society, and making research outcomes available to them. The published studies and research within this initiative may be accessed through the following internet link: Support to Arab and Regional Institutions The Arab Fund supports the activities of Arab and Regional institutions that promote Arab development directly or indirectly, especially in the areas of human resource development, studies and research, or seminars and conferences, as well as contributes to the enhancement of the ability of those institutions to carry out their missions. The Arab Fund has, in this regard, provided 52 grants to support the activities and programs of the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), for a total amount of about KD 14.1 million, of which a grant of KD 1 million was extended in The Arab Fund has also provided 36 grants to the Economic Research Forum, for a total amount of about KD 6.4 million, of which two grants amounting to KD 360 thousand were extended in Annual Report 2016

38 Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development Independent Regional Arab Financial Organization - Kuwait Significant Accounting Policies a) Statement of compliance The financial statements of the Fund are prepared in compliance with accounting policies set out below and in the establishment convention of the Fund. b) Basis of measurement The financial statements are prepared on a fair value basis for investments at the fair value through comprehensive income statement and investments available for sale, except those with no available and reliable measure of fair value. Other financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities are carried at amortized cost or historical cost. The accounting policies followed by the Fund are agreeing accordingly with the same policies followed in the previous year, except in discounting loan provision for impairment. c) Investments Financial assets are classified as financial assets investments at fair value through comprehensive income statement, loans and receivables, or investments available for sale as deemed appropriate. The Fund determines the classification of its financial assets in principle upon recognition. Investments are designated at fair value through comprehensive income statement if they are managed, and their performance is evaluated on reliable fair value basis in accordance with documented investment strategy. Investment assets at fair value through comprehensive income statement are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. Equity investments classified as available for sale are those, which are neither classified as held for trading nor designated at fair value through income statement. Investments available for sale are subsequently measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses recognised in other comprehensive income until the investment is derecognized, at which time the cumulative gains or losses are recognised in the comprehensive income statement; or until these are identified for impairment, then the cumulative losses are recorded in the comprehensive income statement. Financial statements whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are carried at cost less impairment losses, if any. d) Loans Loans are stated at the amortized cost less provision for impairment. No impairment provisions are accounted for loans granted to the public sector as these are considered sovereign loans guaranteed for payment by consecutive governments of the member states. The impairment provision for loans granted to the private sector are estimated if their collection is no longer probable; and recorded at the statement of comprehensive income. 38 Annual Report 2016

39 e) Impairment An assessment is made by the Fund at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets may be impaired.
