Qatar Chamber acting general manager Ali Saeed Bu Sherbak al-Mansouri met with a delegation from the Ministry of Social Development and Family at the chamber’s headquarters yesterday.
The delegation comprised Buthaina al-Obaidli, director of the Family Empowerment Department; Ghada al-Emadi, head of the Empowerment Section; and Fatima al-Mohannadi, Social Service Programmes coordinator.
The meeting, which was also attended by Hussain al-Abdulghani, director of the Finance and Administrative Department, and Fatima al-Kuwari, head of the Training and Development Department, discussed joint initiatives to empower productive families through training programmes organised by Qatar Chamber, and the possibility of signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen cooperation in training and capacity building.
Al-Mansouri affirmed Qatar Chamber’s commitment to supporting and empowering productive families and home-based businesses, as part of its role in supporting the private sector, promoting entrepreneurship, and creating new opportunities for economic engagement.
He noted that many home-based businesses have developed competitive products and services, stressing the importance of creating an enabling environment that helps them grow, achieve sustainability, and gradually transition into small and medium-sized enterprises capable of expanding their businesses.
Al-Mansouri highlighted the importance of training and capacity building in areas including project management, marketing and digital marketing, pricing, customer service, and product development.
He welcomed cooperation with the Ministry of Social Development and Family, represented by the Family Empowerment Department, to develop joint programmes and initiatives that would enhance the capabilities of productive families and help transform their ideas and skills into successful and sustainable businesses.
