OFID Quarterly is published four times a year by the OPEC Fund for International Development (OFID).
OFID is the development finance agency established in January 1976 by the Member States of OPEC (the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) to promote South-South cooperation by extending development assistance to non-OPEC developing countries.
OFID Quarterly is available free-of-charge. If you wish to be included on the distribution list, please contact us via
ofid.org. Back issues of the magazine can be found on our website.
OFID Quarterly welcomes articles and photos on development-related topics, but cannot guarantee publication. Manuscripts, together with a brief biographical note on the author, may be submitted to the Editor for consideration.
The contents of this publication do not necessarily reflect the official views of OFID or its Member Countries. Any maps are for illustration purposes only and are not to be taken as accurate representations of borders. Editorial material may be freely reproduced, providing the OFID Quarterly is credited as the source. A copy to the Editor would be appreciated.
