Qatar Charity (QC) and Al Asmakh Foundation have signed a strategic alliance memorandum in order to promote mutual co-operation and provide benefit and preferential advantages to both organisations.
The two sides also signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the implementation of relief projects benefiting 29,000 affected Yemenis at a cost of QR1,500,000. The agreement will enable the provision of basic food and medical items for affected people in the governorates of Aden and Hodeidah.
The agreements were signed by the Al Asmakh Foundation chairman’s adviser, Jassim bin Salem al-Ansari, and QC executive director of International Development, Mohamed bin Ali al-Ghamdi.
The two sides aim to achieve a wide range of objectives, including the promotion of the regional and international presence of the parties, building the two parties’ capabilities - particularly in common areas - maximising the chances of the two parties in the mobilisation of resources from various sources, co-operating in programmes and projects that serve specific joint common goals, promoting opportunities to influence the areas relevant to their joint work, both regionally and internationally, and developing best practices in areas of common interest.
In order to ensure the effectiveness and continuity of the alliance, the two parties will allocate an equal annual amount (to be determined at a later date) in order to provide self-financing for projects of joint co-operation between them.
Following the signing of the strategic alliance memorandum, al-Ansari said: “This agreement is a source of pride for Al Asmakh Charity, signed with an organisation with a long history of successful experience in humanitarian work.”
On his part, al-Ghamdi said: “Qatar Charity is extremely optimistic about the signing of this agreement with Al Asmakh Charity Foundation.”
