The UAE has signed an agreement to join the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Fund for Youth Support in the Sahel and Lake Chad Region, in an effort to support development in disadvantaged regions.
The deal was signed during the 51st session of the Council of Foreign Ministers in Istanbul over the weekend.
The fund aims to empower youth in the Sahel and Lake Chad region by integrating youth into development, promoting a moderate approach to countering extremism and terrorism, and reducing poverty rates through youth employment and training programmes.
The Fund's charter, which is headquartered in Mauritania’s capital Nouakchott, comes as part of its efforts to strengthen cooperation and support sustainable development.
