Authored by Mohammed Abdullah Nadwi, PhD candidate of Markfield Institute of Higher Education and Postgraduate Fellow of Humanitarian Academy for Development This paper attempts to contextualise the potential role of waqf (plural; awqaf Islamic perpetual trust) in the contemporary world, particularly, in the developmental arena. The purpose of this paper is to provide a framework for awqaf to maintain its convergence with some of the fundamental goals of the SDGs which are also congruent with the maqasid al-shariah (the higher objectives of shariah).

A 10-point Roadmap for Europe European governments and the European Commission have been increasingly supporting a greater role for the private sector in their development cooperation. With new EU policies and instruments such as the European External Investment Plan, it was deemed important for CONCORD members to agree on a common position, common messages and priorities regarding the role of the private sector in contributing to sustainable development. To write this paper, CONCORD Europe’s specific work stream on the private sector collaborated with all of CONCORD’s membership, but also with other civil society organisations and CSO confederations.
