Following the success of the Fund, Islamic philanthropy has become one of the key drivers for growth of UNHCR, with the ambitious vision of representing 15% of the $1 billion goal of PSP globally.To support this vision, focal points have been recruited in regions other than MENA to solely focus on growing Islamic philanthropy in their respective markets, guided by PSP MENA.
