The MoU stipulates that the IDB shall act as the executive body of the programme. It shall provide all services, which would guarantee the programme's sound implementation consistent with the directives of the Committee in charge of programme supervision and in such a way as to ensure efficient use of resources to achieve the programme's specific objectives. The MoU was co-signed by OIC Secretary General Iyad Ameen Madani and IDB President Ahmad Mohammad Ali. It is worth noting that this MoU comes as a continuation of efforts exerted by the OIC and the IDB to mobilize support for affected countries since the outbreak of the disease. The two parties held a joint conference at the headquarters of the OIC General Secretariat on 5 November 2014 to mobilize the resources needed to support efforts to combat the disease. On 29 September 2014, the OIC held a meeting in Geneva chaired by H.E. the Minister of Health in Indonesia and attended by the WHO Director General to discuss the Ebola epidemic in West Africa. --SPA 18:16 LOCAL TIME 15:16 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
