“Aid is most effective when it enforces good governance, economic freedom, and investment in the development of the nation’s human and natural resource potentially.”
H.E. Omer Arteh Ghalib
Somali Foreign Affairs Minister (1969–1976)
Prime Minister of Somalia (1991 – 1993)
Inspired by his father, Mr. Hassan Omer Arteh, now President & CEO of Kingdom Investment Corporation Limited, created the Operation Decisive Task "ODT" program. It is an idea and inspiration that has evolved through the years and began early on when he worked with his late father, Mr. Omer Arteh Ghalib, during the Somali conflict and civil war. Mr. Arteh spent the last ten years developing the ODT concept, a humanitarian infrastructure development program based on the sharia-compliant funding structure. To honor his late father and carry out his legacy, he has created the OAG Foundation and incorporated it with the ODT Development Investment fund of the ODT program.
