Action Plan
The D-8 Malaysia Foundation emphasizes a multidisciplinary and inclusive approach to developing the IGE framework. Key efforts include:
Academic and Research Collaboration
The foundation works closely with universities and research institutions within Malaysia and across D-8 nations to conduct in-depth studies and develop practical solutions. By engaging scholars and thought leaders, it seeks to refine the IGE framework and align it with contemporary needs.
Government Partnerships
In collaboration with government agencies, the foundation ensures that policy frameworks support and institutionalize IGE principles. This includes integrating gifting mechanisms into national economic strategies and social welfare programs.
Industry Engagement
The active participation of industry players is crucial in creating scalable and sustainable solutions. By involving businesses, the foundation fosters innovative models like ethical trade, corporate waqf (endowments), and socially responsible investments that embody the values of gifting.
Community-Centered Development
Through pilot initiatives and grassroots programs, the foundation engages communities in applying IGE principles to address local challenges. These projects demonstrate the practicality and impact of gifting-based economies in real-world contexts.
