Currently, DAI is delivering results that matter in some 60 countries. Our integrated development solutions turn ideas into impact by bringing together fresh combinations of expertise and innovation across multiple disciplines—crisis mitigation and stability operations, democratic governance and public sector management, agriculture and agribusiness, private sector development and financial services, economics and trade, HIV/AIDS and disease control, water and natural resources management, and energy and climate change. Our clients include international development agencies, international lending institutions, private corporations and philanthropies, and national governments.

MSIF has been working with the Arab region since 2008 and in the current strategic period (2012-16) is committed to continuing its efforts to strengthen the growing number of MS organisations and groups in the region, which, in turn, will be better able to meet the needs of people affected by MS.
