Box 1Integrated Rural Development
The Arab Fund’s involvement in rural development, in light of the priorities and needs set by its member countries, is based on its interest in the development of the agricultural sector, including the development of agricultural productivity sources and the achievement of sustainable agricultural development. Rural development also aims at alleviating poverty and improving the standard of living of the population in these areas. In this context, the Arab Fund contributed to the financing of integrated rural development projects in five Arab countries, Tunisia, Sudan, Syria, Palestine and Yemen. These projects aimed at developing the poorest rural areas and improving the livelihoods of their inhabitants, by developing the human and natural resources available as well as improving medical and social services, constructing housing units, providing electricity and water, and developing the infrastructure needed to increase agriculture and livestock production, and raise the rural population’s income, thus contributing to a reduction in the difference between rural and urban standards of living, and decreasing the level of immigration to urban areas.
The Arab Fund provided seven loans for integrated rural development projects to the Arab countries listed above, for a total amount of about KD 52.5 million. These loans contributed to the financing of 20% of the total cost of these projects which amounted to about KD 265 million. These projects resulted in the reclamation of around 66,000 hectares of agricultural land, and the implementation of around 3,500 projects which focused on rehabilitating, digging and lining wells, as well as establishing water storage tanks and distribution networks to improve the efficiency of irrigated and rain-fed agriculture. These projects also contributed to providing 75,000 people with drinking water, irrigation water for approximately 150,000 hectares of land, and replacing the old crop systems with modern ones, thus allowing for an increase in crop production. These projects also facilitated the establishment of rural agricultural extension centers, and the provision of loans for rural women to create income generating projects in the fields of livestock, poultry, food industry and crafts.
The integrated development project in Tunisia, to which the Arab Fund contributed with two loans totaling around KD 35 million, is considered the leading project of this type in the Arab world. This project aimed at developing rural areas in order to make agricultural activities more attractive, through resettling the rural population, improving the economic and social conditions in these areas, and supporting the development of water resources. This project involved 215 projects with the basic elements of development, specifically potable water centers, rural roads, housing, medical and social centers, electrical connections, and more efficient water usage. This project was characterized by the successful integration between infrastructure and production elements. Some of its most important achievements included digging and preparation of 4,500 surface wells and 124 deep wells, providing sustainable irrigation to 5,000 hectares of land, planting 48,000 hectares of crop bearing trees, protecting about 60,000 hectares of agricultural land from drift and desertification, developing about 63,000 hectares of pasture land, constructing 1,700 km of rural roads, providing around 16,000 families with electricity, providing around 15,000 families with drinking water, providing around 7,000 families with housing, and providing loans to about 2,500 hunters and craftsmen to enable them to purchase modern equipment for their activities.
This project had a significant impact on the rural communities of Tunisia, as it contributed to increasing the beneficiaries’ income by around 25%, improving the health and living conditions of the rural population, protecting the environment through increasing farmland and conserving water and soil, as well as alleviating poverty in the most disadvantaged areas.

The Urgent Program: The Arab Fund continued its efforts to support the Palestinian people and limit the deterioration of the economic and social conditions in the occupied territories. During 2012, the Arab Fund allocated an amount of about KD 6.9 million, or about 10.0% of the Arab Fund’s net income for 2011, to contribute to the tenth phase of the Urgent Program to Support the Palestinian People, initially started in 2001. Thus, the total contribution of the Arab Fund to this program over the period 2001-2012 reached about KD 113.6 million. This program includes support to educational institutions (universities and colleges), and institutions and civil society entities concerned with social services and rural development. The program is being implemented at an acceptable pace despite the difficulties encountered from the Israeli occupation authorities. The Arab Fund made those contributions through cooperation and coordination with civil society entities and some governmental institutions.
Areas of intervention under the program included support for basic and higher education, and training and qualifying graduates. The program enabled thousands of university students to continue their education through coverage of their tuition and fees, contributed to the construction of classrooms to meet the needs of basic education, and provided support to social institutions and civil society entities to allow them to provide the best

services. Areas of intervention of the program also included social welfare homes, motherhood and childhood, handicapped and those with special needs, orphanages, in addition to the reactivation of the industrial and agricultural sectors through support to small enterprises, establishment of industrial zones for craftsmen, and support to small farmers.
The support also included provision of medical devices and equipment to hospitals and medical centers, contributions to the construction of health centers specializing in cardiology, ophthalmology, birth and primary health care, in addition to the development of infrastructure such as water and electricity facilities, and delivery of drinking water to deprived areas.
The support provided by the Arab Fund to Palestine contributed to the containment of the destructive impact of the occupation policies, and to the preservation of institutions and civil society entities, and enabled them to provide better services to the Palestinian community. The program also contributed to the perseverance of Palestinian residents and their presence in Palestine in the face of the expulsion campaigns, in addition to the improvement of their living and environmental conditions by providing them with suitable housing, and health, educational and cultural services.
Cooperation with International and National Financial Institutions: The Arab Fund continued its administration and follow-up of grants provided by the OPEC Fund for International Development to Palestine. The total number of grants reached 297, amounting to about US Dollars 59.1 million. Disbursements of these grants amounted to about US Dollars 49.9 million, or about 84.4% of the total. The Arab Fund also maintained its cooperation with the Islamic Development Bank, which monitors the implementation of projects financed through Al-Aqsa Fund. This cooperation included support to rural development projects, economic empowerment, urgent reconstruction of historic buildings, construction of roads and schools, rehabilitation of water wells, reclamation of agricultural land, coverage of tuition and fees of university students, and support to non-governmental organizations that provide health, social and education services. The total committed amount is estimated at about KD. 27.8 million, including support to Jerusalem. Coordination between the Arab Fund and the Islamic Development Bank also took place regarding the selection of projects to be financed under the tenth phase of the urgent program.

Preparation of Studies on “Arab Integration” and “The Arab World in the Year 2025” by the Economic and
Social Commission for Western Asia
The Arab Fund extended a KD. 300 thousand grant as a contribution toward the preparation of two studies: the first on “Arab Integration” and the second on “The Arab World in the Year 2025”, in cooperation with the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA). The first study, the report of which is expected to be issued before the end of the year 2013, will address the subject of Arab integration from the perspective of its relationship to economic and social development in the Arab region, and its impact on the development performance of the Arab countries. The second study aims at exploring the Arab future by analyzing a number of interrelated “scenarios”, which take into account the current situation in the Arab world and its future prospects, in order to assist decision-makers and civil society in the policy choice that would favor the “optimal scenario”.
ESCWA has adopted a participatory approach in the preparation of the two reports. Qualified experts from across the Arab region have been called upon to form two teams, one for each study. Each team was composed of a large number of economists and intellectuals who have been selected in coordination with the Arab Fund for the purpose of the preparation of “background papers” for the two studies. For each study, a core team of five experts has also been appointed to write the report of the study based on the background papers and guided by an advisory board comprising thirty Arab specialists, whose role extends from the adoption of the outline of the study until the approval of the report in its final form.
The importance of the two studies lies in their potential contribution to the policy discourse on how to accelerate the pace of economic growth and improve the welfare of the Arab citizens, as well as foreseeing the future of Arab countries.
It is well known that the Arab region faces immense challenges amid a rapid and broad-based changing global environment in the form of high rates of unemployment - especially among young people -, low human development indicators, weak growth performance and low competitiveness. It is expected that the study on “Arab Integration” will not only analyze the causes of failure of previous Arab economic, social and cultural integration experiences, but will also highlight the areas, forms and stages of the desired integration in the light of the present global and regional contexts while taking into account the development challenges faced by Arab countries. The study will also delineate the institutional and procedural prerequisites needed to achieve the desired integration. The second study on “The Arab World in the Year 2025”, aims at analyzing scenarios for the potential future paths of the Arab region and the role of development strategies and scientific, technological and cultural policies in shaping this future. It is expected that this will help policymakers, civil society organizations and public opinion in the Arab countries realize the best possible scenarios and avoid scenarios that do not lead to the achievement of the legitimate aspirations of these countries.
30 Annual Report 2012
Third: Other Activities
The Arab Fund continued to act as the Coordination Secretariat of the Coordination Group, which includes Arab national and regional development institutions, and organized the group’s periodic meetings. The seventieth and seventy-first periodic meetings of the Group took place during 2012. The Group also held several meetings with international and regional institutions, which included the World Bank, the International Finance Corporation, the European Investment Bank and the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction. The meetings aimed at strengthening cooperation and coordination with these institutions in order to support development in the world in general, and in the Arab region in particular.
The Arab Fund continued to participate in meetings of the Deauville Initiative to support Arab countries, which includes nine international and regional financial institutions. It participated in the meeting held in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates on February 9, 2012, and the meeting held in Paris, France on July 11, 2012.
The Arab Fund financed a study on integrated Arab electrical interconnection and use of natural gas. The study aims at choosing the best mix of exporting electricity versus natural gas to be used in generating electricity, in order to identify the best strategy for each Arab country individually and for all Arab countries as a group for the optimum use of natural gas to meet the demand for electricity until the year 2030. The contract for the study was signed in February 2012 with the consortium of the consulting firms CESI and Ramboll. Periodic progress meetings are held at the headquarters of the General Secretariat of the League of Arab States, and attended by representatives of the Arab Fund, the steering committee of the study, the General Secretariat of the League of Arab States (Energy Department), the member states and the consulting firms. The first three stages of the study were completed by the end of 2012, and the last four stages are expected to be completed before the end of August 2013.
The study of the Arab Railway Network Scheme, which the Arab Fund financed and followed up the implementation, was completed during the year. The study was one of the resolutions made at the Arab Economic and Social Development Summit held in Kuwait in January 2009. The Arab Fund signed a contract with the consortium Italferr/ Dar Al-Omran for the implementation of this study in November 2010. The final report of the study was presented at a workshop organized at the Arab Fund headquarters in Kuwait in October 2012. In addition to the members of the consortium, participants at this workshop included representatives of the Arab Fund, the Economic Sector of the General Secretariat of the League of Arab States and the member states.
During the year, the Arab Fund formed the management body of the Special Account for Financing Small and Medium Private Sector Projects in Arab countries. A booklet about the Special Account and its policies and guidelines was prepared. A link to the Special Account has also been added to the Arab Fund’s website, to enable interested individuals and firms to learn about the Special Account and its activities. Technical
Annual Report 2012 31
teams visited several countries to study their credit markets and identify intermediate institutions through which the Special Account could operate. Those countries included Saudi Arabia, Djibouti, Egypt and Sudan. During the year, five loan agreements were signed with intermediate institutions in five Arab countries, namely, Mauritania, Tunisia, Jordan, Djibouti and Morocco, in addition to the loan agreement signed with the Arab Gulf Programme for Development (AGFUND). The Special Account was also presented in two meetings: the first was held in Rome, Italy on July 18, 2012 within the framework of the Deauville Initiative, and the second was held at the Arab Planning Institute in Kuwait during the period 6 - 7 November, 2012.
During the year, the Arab Fund participated in the preparation of the Joint Arab Economic Report, which is published annually 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, and covers the main economic and social developments in Arab countries. The theme of this year’s report was “Opportunities and Challenges of Access to Financial and Banking Services and Financing in the Arab World”. The Arab Fund also participated at the meeting of the Scientific Committee and the Donors Committee of the Research Initiative for Arab Development, financed by the Arab Fund in cooperation with the World Bank. A joint symposium between the Arab Fund and the World Bank on “Reinvigorating the Developmental Role of SMEs in Arab Countries” also took place at the Arab Fund headquarters during the period 18 - 19 June, 2012.

The Special Account to Finance Small and Medium Projects in Arab Countries
The first Arab Economic and Social Development Summit, which was held in Kuwait in January 2009, endorsed the initiative of His Highness the Amir of Kuwait, to create a Special Account with a total amount of US Dollars 2 billion to finance small and medium private sector projects in Arab countries. Both Kuwait and Saudi Arabia contributed to this Account with an amount of US Dollars 500 million each, the Arab Fund contributed with an amount of US Dollars 100 million, while other Arab countries contributed with varying amounts. The Arab Fund was entrusted with the establishment and management of the Account. Thus, the Arab Fund established the general policies, rules and regulations for the operations of the Special Account, the standard loan agreement and work documents. By the end of 2012, an amount of US Dollars 595 million was deposited by member countries in the Special Account out of the pledged total amount of US Dollars 1,203 million.
Within a short period of time, the Arab Fund was able to study credit markets in eleven Arab countries, and select and appraise qualified intermediate institutions in order to cooperate with them and provide them with funds to finance small and medium projects in their respective countries. This effort has resulted in the commencement of the operations of the Special Account by funding nine Arab financial institutions that have the expertise and knowledge in supporting and financing small and medium projects, through the provision of nine loans totaling US Dollars 245 million. In general, the Special Account provides financing to intermediate institutions with standard terms, that is, loans for a period of ten years with a three-year grace period, at an annual interest rate of 3% that would go down to 2% if a government guarantee is provided.
Most Arab countries face high unemployment and poverty, as the average unemployment rate is more than 16%, and is particularly high among women and youth, reaching about 60% for youth in some countries. These rates are the highest among the different regions of the world. The data show that the sector of small and medium projects is the mainstay of economic and social life in Arab countries, for its great potential in providing job opportunities, economic diversification, and economic and social development. This sector represents about 90% of the total existing enterprises in these countries, employs two thirds of formal labor, and generates 60% of GDP. 90% of labor is employed by enterprises of 50 workers or less. However, this sector faces several constraints which include an inadequate investment climate and a weak financial infrastructure, as only about 20% of the projects get financing from banks, with this funding not exceeding 8% of the total bank loans, and these loans not exceeding 10% of the total investment costs of borrowing enterprises. In this context, it is expected that the Special Account will help overcome these constraints.

Significant Accounting Policies
Statement of compliancea)
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS’s”) promulgated by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and based on the interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations’ Committee of the IASB.
Basis of measurementb)
The financial statements are prepared on a fair value basis for financial assets and liabilities held for trading and assets available for sale, except those for which a reliable measure of fair value is not available. Other financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities are carried at amortized cost or historical cost.
The financial statements have been presented in Kuwaiti Dinars which is the functional and reporting currency of the Fund. All values are rounded to the nearest thousands (KD 000’), except when otherwise indicated.
Investments c)
Financial assets and liabilities are classified at fair value through profit or loss when the assets or liabilities are managed, evaluated and reported on a fair value basis.
Financial instruments are measured initially through profit or loss at fair value. Transaction cost on financial instruments expensed through profit or loss immediately. Subsequent to initial recognition, all instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss are re-measured at fair value with changes in their fair value recognized in the profit or loss.
Investments which are not held to maturity or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are classified as available for sale and are stated at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss being recognized directly in equity, except for impairment losses and, in case of monetary items, foreign exchange gains and losses.
Loansd)
Loans are recognized at amortized cost less the impairment provision. The impairment provision is estimated when the full collections of loans is no longer probable. The amount of provision is determined as the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount of the asset. The recoverable amount is calculated on the basis of the present value of the expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate. Short-term balances are not discounted.
Annual Report 2012 41
Impairmente)
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 is impaired. All impairment losses are recognized in the profit or loss.
Investment in associatef)
The associate is an entity in which the Fund has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. The investment in the associated entity is equity accounted.
Fixed assetsg)
Fixed assets are not capitalized but are fully written off to the statement of comprehensive income in the year of purchase.
Provision for pension fundh)
The Fund has a defined end of service benefit plan (pension plan) which covers all its employees. Provision for the Fund’s obligation towards employees’ pension is determined based on contributions paid by the employees’ and the Arab Fund, in addition to a return of 10% p.a. guaranteed by the Arab Fund.
Foreign Currenciesi)
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Fund at their respective functional currency spot rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Differences from adjustment of the monetary items are recognized in profit or loss.
Cash and cash equivalentsj)
Cash comprises of cash on hand and in banks, cash equivalents comprise bank balances and short term deposits.
Revenue recognitionk)
Interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR), which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset or a shorter period where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. Interest and commission on loans to countries with unpaid past due interest for over three months are excluded from the profit and loss and only recorded as income when received. Interest income from time deposits and call accounts is recognized on a time proportion basis. Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established. Fees and commission income is recognized when earned.
