DOHA THE Social Development Center (SDC) has signed an agreement with Sheikh Thani bin Abdullah’s Foundation for Humanitarian Services (RAF) to provide educational and training resources to individuals working in the nonprofit sector.

The agreement was signed by Administration and Finance Manager at SDC Fahad Abdulqader al Amri and Chairman of Community Service Department at RAF Dr Yahya bin Hamad al Nuaimi.

Under the agreement, RAF’s Center for Training and Civil Society Studies will design personal development plans and training programmes based on the needs of organisations engaged in humanitarian work in Qatar.

The RAF center will also be responsible for coordinating and managing the training courses and the SDC will provide the venues for all training and development sessions.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, Amri said the agreement would provide personal development opportunities to individuals interested in the non-profit sector, particularly humanitarian and charitable causes.

He said: “For non-profit organisations, human resources are the real capital. By helping to strengthen the knowledge base, skills, and capacities of those interested in this field with RAF’s support, we strive to enhance the quality of human resources available in the non-profit sector.” On his part, Nuaimi said the agreement would further enhance the Center for Training and Civil Society Studies’ ability to provide programmes that would help more Qatari individuals to reach their full potential according to the RAF’s vision and the Qatar National Vision 2030.

He said individuals aspiring to work for social and humanitarian causes would benefit from professional training courses and practical work opportunities.

By partnering with organisations like RAF, the SDC seeks to further its main objective – promoting the role of the family unit in society as well as maintaining its social and economic cohesion and stability. It also works actively to train and enable individuals to succeed in the careers they choose to pursue. Through its various collaborative activities with its partners, the SDC aims to raise awareness about specialised training and personal development, preparing society to face the challenges and changes that affect its components and values.
