Lives & Livelihoods Fund

The Lives & Livelihoods Fund (Arabic: صندوق العيش والمعيشة‎‎) is a $2.5 billion multilateral development initiative created by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Islamic Development Bank, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and the State of Qatar. According to Gulf News, it is the "largest ever Middle-East based, fully-multilateral development initiative".

In 2015 The Economist reported that Bill Gates and the Islamic Development Bank were partnering to create a $2.5 billion fund to tackle poverty and ill health in the Muslim world and would seek to collaborate in the fund with Gulf countries. The fund started operations in September 2016.
