  • (3) to encourage innovation and modernization through the implementation of its programs;
  • and (4) to have concerns related to vulnerable groups that were evacuated from their homes due to living circumstances similar to catastrophic natural conditions or war and security situation.

The focus areas are: financial inclusion, Early Childhood Development, women’s empowerment, civil society development and open education for youth.
