RACA discusses ways to support national developments

Qatar Tribune16-06-2025
DOHA: The Regulatory Authority for Charitable Activities (RACA) has held a coordination meeting with the heads of several private charitable institutions in the country to discuss ways to enhance institutional partnerships and integrate roles between the RACA and these institutions. This will serve to achieve Qatar National Vision 2030 and consolidate the charitable sector's role as an effective partner in sustainable development.
This meeting comes within the framework of national efforts to enhance the role of the third sector within Qatar's Third National Development Strategy (2024-2030), particularly in the context of achieving the fourth strategic outcome, "Cohesive Society."
During the meeting, Director-General of the RACA, Ibrahim Abdullah Al Duhaimi emphasized the importance of developing the institutional performance of private charitable institutions and raising their organizational efficiency in line with governance and transparency requirements. He noted that this development reflects the directions of the Charitable and Humanitarian Sector Strategy (2025-2030), which aims to enable charitable organizations to play more strategic and influential roles locally and internationally.
He noted that a number of private charitable institutions in the country have successfully completed the institutional and organizational modernization requirements, enabling them to efficiently conduct their activities and enhancing their ability to meet community needs within an organized, safe, and innovative work environment. This contributes to building community capacity and promoting a culture of coexistence and tolerance, while adhering to standards of transparency, disclosure, and performance accountability, and working in close collaboration with government and community entities.
The Director-General of RACA praised the level of positive cooperation demonstrated by private charitable institutions in responding to the regulatory updates approved by the RACA. He highlighted the importance of the strategic projects recently launched by the RACA, most notably the "Sanadi" project for coordinating internal aid. This pioneering digital platform contributes to organizing support and assistance to beneficiaries nationwide, achieving fairness and integration among various entities.
Al Dhaimi affirmed the RACA's commitment to its enabling and regulatory role and its continued support for building the institutional capacities of private charitable institutions and enhancing their ability to achieve the desired social and humanitarian impact within a framework of effective partnership, accountability, and institutional excellence, contributing to comprehensive and sustainable development.
In a related context, RACA highlighted the importance of monitoring the results of the Charitable Environment Index issued by Indiana University and pushing towards providing a stimulating and stable legal and regulatory environment that contributes to the growth and prosperity of private charitable institutions.
This meeting was part of RACA's efforts to ensure the country's charitable sector's compliance with international standards, particularly those issued by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), regarding strengthening control systems to mitigate the risks of money laundering and terrorist financing in the non-profit sector.
It also provided an opportunity to highlight the pivotal role expected of private charitable institutions in strengthening social cohesion in Qatar, as defined by the National Development Strategy. This role is particularly relevant to consolidating national identity, empowering vulnerable groups, achieving social justice, and transitioning from traditional charitable work to sustainable development.

Qatari students discuss cultural identity at Arab Parliament for the Child

Tribune News Network Doha A delegation of Qatari students participated in the second session of the fourth session of the Arab Parliament for the Child, hosted by the Emirate of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates from July 22 to 26, 2025. Fifty-six members representing 14 Arab countries participated in the event, which strengthens the voice of Arab children and refines their leadership skills. The Qatari delegation comprised students Tarf Abdullah Al-Afeefa, Maryam Ali Al-Namlan, and Fahad Abdul Aziz Al-Maliki, along with educational supervisors Amer Al-Naimi and Shaima Kamal. They contributed to rich discussions centered around the 'cultural identity of the Arab child,' as one of the fundamental pillars in building generations and strengthening national and patriotic belonging. The sessions are held under the generous patronage of His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, and under the direct supervision of HE Ahmed Aboul Gheit, Secretary-General of the League of Arab States. This reflects a keen interest in the role of Arab children in shaping the present and anticipating the future. The session's programme included a series of specialised workshops and interactive dialogues, in addition to a plenary session during which the child parliamentarians expressed their views on cultural identity, based on working papers and analytical studies they had prepared themselves. This reflects the intellectual maturity and awareness of the nation's issues among Arab youth. The sessions are expected to yield specific recommendations to be submitted to relevant authorities at the Arab level to support national and educational policies related to cultural identity. This will contribute to building a generation proud of its language and culture, engaged in its nation's issues, and qualified to contribute positively to the development of its society. The Arab Children's Parliament, which has been permanently headquartered in Sharjah since 2019, continues to play its pioneering educational role as a platform that amplifies children's voices, enhances their participation in public life, and prepares them to become decision-makers and active partners in the process of sustainable development. This participation aligns with the efforts of the Ministry of Education and Higher Education in the State of Qatar to empower students and enhance their participation in regional and international forums, in line with Qatar National Vision 2030.
