The agreement, concluded on the sidelines of the IsDB Group Annual Meetings 2025 in Algiers, was signed by Dr. Khalid Khalafalla, Chief Executive Officer of ICIEC and Mr. Sujithav Sarangi, Executive Director, Development & Agency Finance at Standard Chartered Bank.
ICIEC’s NHFO‑MDB policy insures the financing provided by Standard Chartered (Hong Kong), Standard Chartered (Kenya) and DZ Bank to the Eastern and Southern African Trade and Development Bank (TDB). The funds will support an eligible portfolio of infrastructure, energy and trade‑finance initiatives in six common member states of ICIEC and TDB—Mozambique, Uganda, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt and Senegal—by providing credit enhancement to the lenders and thereby unlocking critical capital for high‑impact projects.
Dr Khalafalla said, “By providing ICIEC’s NHFO-MDB insurance cover to this landmark facility, we are doing more than mitigating risk—we are fast‑tracking development. Such facility empowers TDB to accelerate infrastructure, energy and trade projects that will light homes, connect markets and create dignified jobs across six of our common member states. It is a clear demonstration of how Islamic finance can mobilize private resources for inclusive, sustainable growth.”
Sujithav Sarangi, Executive Director, Development & Agency Finance, Standard Chartered says: “We are proud to partner with ICIEC on yet another impactful project. The success of this project is rooted in the significant, and tangible, benefits this development will bring. Our enduring partnership with ICIEC exemplifies our shared mission to drive meaningful impact in the communities and markets we support.”
The transaction underscores ICIEC’s commitment to deploy innovative risk‑mitigation solutions that advance the IsDB Group’s objective of fostering inclusive, resilient and sustainable development across its member countries.

More needs to be done for the Youths insha'allah.
It does not cost anything to give them structure and discipline only the creation of the opportunity to serve their country and gain livelong skills.
I think Somaliland has been getting weaker day after day since Silanyo came to power about two years ago:
1… BERBERA is totally being run by one sub-clan (Isse Muse) and never obey what the president orders (refer Cement Factory case when the president issued orders for Dahabshiil Group but Isse Muse' malitia vetoed the presidential decree and tore up the letter signed by the president into small pieces.
2.. Local Council elections were rigged and until now there are civil strife in parts of the country.
3. HARGAISA STADIUM was captured ARAB (SUB-CLAN of ISAAQ) malitia and worlords who want money from the Government THUS POSTPONEMENT OF PROVINCES TOURNAMENT (DUE TO MID JANUARY 2013) POSTPONED TO JUNE OR UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
These things and flying of some politicians to Mogadishu indicate that Somaliland project may be wrapped up soon.
Is this the latest information from the darood HQ in garowe.
SiyaasiOne, shut up with the clan talk. Somaliland is a work in process, but using tribe talk only shows your anti somaliland views. You must be from Puntland.
Healthy bodies, Healthy minds. Onwards and upwards on the youth front. More opportunities, more employment.
