  • The Aga Khan Development Network is a group of private, non-denominational development agencies that seek to empower communities and individuals to improve living conditions and opportunities, in sub-Saharan Africa, Central and South Asia, and the Middle East. Founded and guided by His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan IV, the Network focuses on health, education, culture, rural development, institution-building and the promotion of economic development. The AKDN is dedicated to improving living conditions and opportunities for the poor, without regard to their faith, origin or gender. Its annual budget for not-for-profit endeavours is in excess of US$300 million. The Aga Khan Foundation, including the Aga Khan Rural Support Programmes and the Mountain Societies Development Support Programme, the Aga Khan University, Aga Khan Health Services, Aga Khan Education Services, and the Aga Khan Planning and Building Services, operate in social development. The Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development with its affiliates the Tourism Promotion Services (TPS), Industrial Promotion Service (IPS), and Financial Services, seek to strengthen the role of the private sector in developing countries by supporting private sector initiatives in the development process. The Fund and the Foundation also encourage government policies that foster what the Aga Khan first called an "enabling environment" of favourable legislative and fiscal structures. The Aga Khan Trust for Culture co-ordinates the Imamat's cultural activities. Its programmes include The Aga Khan Award for Architecture, the Historic Cities Support Programme, and the Education and Culture Programme. The Trust also provides financial support for the Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture at Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States. While each agency pursues its own mandate, all of them work together within the overarching framework of the Aga Khan Development Network so that their different pursuits can interact and reinforce one another. Their common goal is to help the poor achieve a level of self-reliance whereby they are able to plan their own livelihoods and help those even more needy than themselves. A central feature of the AKDN's approach to development is to design and implement strategies in which its different agencies participate in particular settings. To pursue their mandates, AKDN institutions rely on the energy, dedication, and skill of volunteers as well as remunerated professionals, and draw upon the talents of people of all faiths.
  • Das Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) ist eine islamische Entwicklungshilfeorganisation und eine der weltweit größten Nichtregierungsorganisationen. Gegründet wurde sie von Karim Aga Khan IV. , dem geistlichen Oberhaupt der Nizari-Ismailiten. Schwerpunkte sind Gesundheit, Bildung und Kultur, sowie ländliche und wirtschaftliche Entwicklung mit Schwerpunkt in Süd- und Zentralasien und Ostafrika. Nach eigenen Angaben arbeitet die Organisation ohne Ansehen von Glaube, Herkunft und Geschlecht. Das AKDN finanziert sich aus Mitteln der Aga-Khan-Stiftung, in die die Mitglieder der Nizari-Ismailiten den zehnten Teil ihres Einkommens einbringen. Im September 2004 wurde zwischen dem BMZ und dem AKDN ein Partnerschaftsabkommen unterzeichnet. Die Bundesregierung unterstützt Projekte des AKDN in Afghanistan, Tadschikistan und Pakistan sowie im Nahen und Mittleren Osten. In Fragen des Kulturerhalts arbeiten das Auswärtige Amt und die Aga Khan Stiftung beim Wiederaufbau des Babur Gartens in Kabul, Afghanistan, eng zusammen. Alle drei Jahre verleiht das AKDN den Aga Khan Award for Architecture, einen der wichtigsten Architekturpreise. Das AKDN ist die Dachorganisation einer Gruppe von verschiedenen Organisationen bzw. Einrichtungen: Aga Khan Agency for Microfinance (AKAM) Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) Aga Khan Education Services (AKES) Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development (AKFED) Aga Khan Health Services (AKHS) Aga Khan Planning and Building Services (AKPBS) Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) Aga Khan University (AKU) University of Central Asia (UCA)
