No, A number of AKDN agencies were established in South Asia and East Africa to address the needs of the Ismaili community. Egypt, India, the Kyrgyz Republic, and Mali, for example, have several regions - where major programs serve populations in which the Ismaili community does not exist. But nowadays, under the leadership of His Majesty Aga Khan, the networked institutions have moved beyond that mission to include projects.
