The Regulatory Authority for Charitable Activities (RACA) 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 emphasised the importance of developing the institutional performance of private charitable institutions and raising their organisational 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 organisations 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 organisational modernisation requirements, enabling them to efficiently conduct their activities and enhancing their ability to meet community needs within an organised, 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 RACA director-general 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, according to him, contributes to organising 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.

Qatar, 9 countries slam move to impose ‘Israeli sovereignty'over occupied West Bank

QNA Doha The State of Qatar, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Republic of Indonesia, the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the State of Palestine, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Republic of Turkiye, the United Arab Emirates, the Arab League, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation condemned, in the strongest terms, the Israeli Knesset's approval of the declaration calling for imposing the so-called 'Israeli sovereignty' over the occupied West Bank. They described the move a flagrant and unacceptable violation of international law and a flagrant violation of relevant Security Council resolutions, most notably resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973), and 2334 (2016), which affirm the invalidity of all measures and decisions aimed at legitimizing the occupation, including settlement activities in the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967. The mentioned parties reiterated that Israel has no sovereignty over the occupied Palestinian territory and affirmed that this unilateral Israeli action has no legal effect and cannot change the legal status of the occupied Palestinian territory, particularly East Jerusalem, which remains an integral part of that territory. They also emphasized that such Israeli measures will only fuel the growing tension in the region, exacerbated by the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip and the resulting humanitarian catastrophe. These parties called on the international community, including the Security Council and all concerned parties, to assume their legal and moral responsibilities and take urgent action to halt illegal Israeli policies aimed at imposing a 'fait accompli' by force, undermining the chances of achieving a just and lasting peace, and eliminating the prospects for a two-state solution. The parties also renewed their commitment to the two-state solution based on international legitimacy resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative, and the establishment of an independent, sovereign Palestinian state on the June 4, 1967, lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
