OVERVIEW AGA KHAN FOUNDATION 2006 The Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) and its sister AKDN agencies have been experimenting with and implementing innovative solutions to development for nearly 40 years. In every undertaking, the overriding goal is to assist in the struggle against hunger, disease, illiteracy, ignorance and social exclusion. Central to all these efforts have been inclusive, community-based development approaches, in which local organisations identify, prioritise and implement projects with the Foundation’s assistance. Within this ethos, AKF focuses on five major areas: education, rural development, health, civil society and the environment. These themes are linked by several cross-cutting concerns including gender issues, pluralism, human resource development and public awareness of development issues. AKF’s approach features a long-term commitment that is maintained through political and social uncertainty.
