The Planning and Statistics Authority (PSA) and the Regulatory Authority for Charitable Activities (RACA) have signed a joint work mechanism on co-ordination and cooperation to improve the quality of information collected on the non-profit sector.
The agreement was signed by Mohamed bin Abdulaziz al-Nuaimi, PSA President's assistant, and Ibrahim bin Abdullah al-Dhaimi, Director General of RACA.
The mechanism aims to strengthen co-ordination, co-operation and exchange of information in order to improve the quality of information collected on the non-profit sector through making use of PSA’s expertise and capabilities, and the training it may provide to RACA staff so as to conduct extensive surveys and verify the sources and reliability of information collected about the sector.
The joint work mechanism reflects PSA's keenness to cooperate with all concerned authorities in Qatar, according to al-Nuaimi.
"Through such mechanism, technical assistance will be provided and joint training courses and workshops will be held in co-operation with RACA in order to disseminate and promote knowledge on some issues of common interest, particularly issues related to recent trends and basics in social development in order to improve the quality of information collected on the non-profit sector," he said.
The joint work mechanism signed with PSA will greatly assist in the enhancement of co-operation in preparing statistical data required to be presented and submitted by RACA, and sharing knowledge and experience with the PSA on the implementation of various surveys, and the dissemination of data and statistics based on reliable information related to the activity of the non-profit sector, through co-ordination and co-operation between the two parties, al-Dhaimi said.
"This aims to make use of the collected data in the field of coordinating charitable and humanitarian aid at the national and international levels, conducting a periodic assessment of the sector’s risks, and developing policies, procedures, controls and guidelines founded on a risk-based approach to manage and reduce risks," he added.
