Qatar Charity has announced its commitment to building and assessing the capacity of partner humanitarian organisations in Syria, as part of its efforts to empower local partners and enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of humanitarian and charitable work.

A press release from Qatar Charity said that this intervention, which targets 10 partner organisations in its first phase, includes providing systematic institutional support, preceded by a capacity assessment and the implementation of development plans tailored to their needs. These plans include technical and administrative training programmes aimed at raising the efficiency of institutional performance and improving the quality of response in fragile environments, while providing technical support to ensure sustainable improvement.

This project will be implemented by the "Maein Initiative," launched by Qatar Charity, as a qualitative project that translates the organisation's vision of localising humanitarian work and maximising the role of local actors. The initiative aims to enhance professionalism, transparency, and accountability in the work of local organisations, enabling them to rely on their own capabilities and play an effective role in crisis recovery and sustainable development.

The Maein Initiative has developed Arabic-language mechanisms and tools to develop effective governance and program management tools and enhance the sustainability of charitable organisations, in accordance with local conditions and values, best practices, and international standards.

The project is part of Qatar Charity's ongoing efforts to support local partners and enable them to implement more efficient and sustainable humanitarian responses, particularly in areas facing complex challenges and difficult operational conditions.

The Syrian humanitarian organisations that will benefit from the project in its first phase have demonstrated a strong commitment to institutional development and engagement in developing improvement plans that respond to operational priorities and support the continuity of humanitarian services.
