H.E. Ambassador Ekramy El Zaghat serves as the President of the World Fund for Development and Planning, leading the Organization’s strategic vision to advance sustainable development, strengthen institutional capacity, and expand international cooperation. Under his leadership, WFDP has broadened its global footprint through Host Country Agreements, high-level partnerships, and multi-sector initiatives that support governments and communities across various regions.
Ambassador El Zaghat provides senior guidance to WFDP’s programs and represents the Organization in diplomatic engagements, international forums, and cooperation frameworks with member states, global institutions, and development partners.

Through dedicated dialogue and collaborative action, he continues to position WFDP as a trusted intergovernmental organization committed to development and humanitarian advancement.
It is my honor to address our member states, partners, and the many institutions and communities that place their trust in the World Fund for Development and Planning (WFDP). Our Organization was founded on the belief that sustainable development is not only a shared responsibility, but a shared opportunity—an opportunity to build societies rooted in dignity, justice, and prosperity for all.
Today, humanity faces challenges that transcend borders: economic uncertainty, environmental pressures, gaps in education and health systems, humanitarian emergencies, and rapidly evolving technologies. Such realities call for strong international cooperation and institutions capable of responding with vision, integrity, and innovation. WFDP embraces this responsibility with determination and a deep commitment to international development principles.
Our work is driven by the conviction that progress must be inclusive, and that every individual—regardless of background—deserves the chance to contribute to and benefit from national and global development. Through our Host Country Agreements, partnerships, and affiliation frameworks, we continue to expand our reach and strengthen our ability to support the aspirations of communities and institutions around the world.
WFDP’s efforts are rooted in cooperation, evidence-based planning, and respect for the sovereignty and priorities of each partner nation. We work to empower institutions, support communities, and mobilize expertise that fosters lasting and meaningful change. Our collaborations with governments, international bodies, civil society, and private-sector partners reflect our belief that sustainable progress requires the collective commitment of many stakeholders.
As President, I remain dedicated to reinforcing WFDP’s role as a reliable, transparent, and forward-looking institution. We will continue championing peace, social cohesion, economic empowerment, and innovation—pillars essential for the future we aim to build together.
I extend my sincere appreciation to all who support WFDP’s mission and place confidence in our work. Together, we will continue to advance human development, strengthen cooperation, and contribute to a world where opportunity is shared and hope is renewed.
