President of the Islamic Development Bank Group

The title seems both mysterious and exciting! To cut the reader’s confusion short, the title is related to the Saudi Project for the Utilisation of Hajj Meat. It simply means that, last year, the Project was able to slaughter about a million livestock in 84 hours and distributed them to deserving beneficiaries in 27 countries of the Muslim world. Distribution started with the poor in the Haram area of Makkah.

This pioneering and outstanding project was launched 37 years ago, precisely in 1403AH/1983G. The Islamic Development Bank was honoured to manage it on behalf of the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Project has helped facilitate the performance of rituals, protect the environment of the holy sites from pollution and prevent meat waste by providing meat to the poor and the needy. Providing food to the poor and the hungry receives special attention from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In this context, the IsDB is working with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to expand the scope of the Project to include fighting hunger in the Muslim world, especially in the light of the steady increase in the numbers of the poor and hungry in IsDB member countries.
