Triple-IBF Suite of Qualifications for the Development & Humanitarian Professional
This is the flagship initiative of IIIBF that aims to impart comprehensive knowledge and skills needed to transform you into a complete Development & Humanitarian Finance Professional. As policy makers strive to address the massive financial needs of countries seeking to meet the Sustainable Development Goals, and as international humanitarian agencies struggle to meet a massive resource shortfall, this program aims to address the human resource development and capacity building challenges of the sector, especially in the context of Islamic societies with their unique institutions of philanthropy and tools of Shariah-compliant finance.
This intermediate level course aims to develop you as a professional, well-versed in Shariah rules pertaining to mobilization of zakat and its allocation as an “alternative” source of financing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and as a tool to meet the ever-increasing humanitarian funding gap.
This intermediate level course aims to equip you with the Shariah-legal knowledge as well as modern tools for a leadership role in the transformation of the Islamic endowments or awqaf sector and effectively contribute to the provision of public goods, e.g. education, healthcare, energy, water & sanitation and the like.
This intermediate level course aims to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the building blocks of an Islamic microfinance program – models, products and services based on Shariah-compliant modes- with a view to creating livelihood opportunities and alleviating poverty levels.
This is an introductory level course that will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the opportunities presented by the global halal economy and the fundamental tools required for organizations to strategically respond to the same, e.g. the legal and Shariah aspects of halal certification as it relates to specific sub-sectors, e.g. food, lifestyle, pharmaceuticals, tourism and the like.
The purpose of this introductory level course is to equip you with a comprehensive, but non-technical understanding of the application of blockchain technology in the Islamic financial services sector, specifically in the areas of Islamic philanthropy, trade, development and humanitarian finance, insurance and investments.
This is the right course for you if you are yet to be initiated into the world of Islamic finance and you need a basic and introductory level understanding of how Islamic finance is different from conventional finance and what are the building blocks of an Islamic financial system – the complete array of Islamic financial products, models and institutions.
