HE the Minister of Social Development and Family Maryam bint Ali bin Nasser al-Misnad underlined the strategic importance of supporting the Arab productive family sector in various territories of the Arab world. This came in remarks she delivered before the ministerial session to present the experiences of the member states in marketing the products of the productive families on the sidelines of the 1st Arab Productive Families Exhibition's in Cairo.
HE al-Misnad called on the policymakers in the Arab states to adopt policies that would support the productive families' sector, as well as constructive societal initiatives. Diversification of income resources and supporting investment are crucially essential, she said adding that it is unfair to confine the term "productive families" solely to "government subsidy" provided by the state for the projects of needy families. HE al-Misnad voiced Qatar's readiness to host the upcoming edition of Arab Productive Families Exhibition slated for the fourth quarter of 2023.
