IN THE FIELD


The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have long guided the OPEC Fund as it works to meet essential needs – such as food, energy, infrastructure, clean water and sanitation, healthcare, employment and education – in low and middle- income countries. By providing affordable development


finance to countries and regions that often find funds difficult to secure, we


are helping solve market challenges in a market-supportive manner, while promoting cooperation with and among the more vulnerable parts of our world. The following pages show how the OPEC Fund supports regional integration – the topic of this issue’s special feature and a driver of decent work and economic growth (SDG 8) and industry, innovation and infrastructure (SDG 9), as well as other SDGs.
