Doha: Nama Center, a member of Qatar Foundation for Social Work, has announced launch of its annual plan for 2017, which is the first of a series of practical steps of the strategic directions that have been revealed on the heels of launch of its new visual identity late last year at the Qatar National Convention Centre.
The launch comes following a pivotal year that the Center witnessed in 2016, when it built a strong foundation for its new programme, which puts young people at the top of its priorities, as an extension of a rich heritage of social work over the past two decades, says a press release.
Over the years, Nama Center has brought to fruition a slew of achievements and successes that embodied its pioneering role in investing in human capital, with youth forming its main pillar, by providing them with the essential elements of empowerment in form of training, qualification, and instilling awareness in order to be well poised to play a prominent role in national development, in line with the State’s strategies and the realisation of the Qatar National Vision 2030.
Among the most important achievements of Nama Center in 2016, was the opening of the first exhibition for Small & Micro enterprises “Tawreed”, which was held in collaboration with the Qatar Chamber and the Qatar Tourism Authority to support 29 of the incubated projects and facilitate communication between them and the public and private institutions in Qatar.
The Center also launched the life-skills development project "Sekkak" to develop teachers’ training capacities, which extended over the period of five days and embraced 30 young men and women, with an honorary ceremony held to celebrate the occasion.
In 2017, Nama Center will continue to work hard in pursuit of its vision, assuming the role of the engine in the wheel of development and prosperity in the State of Qatar, through its effective social activities and contributions at a myriad local and international events.
Among the most anticipated of such upcoming events: the launch of the ‘Moqbeleen’ initiative, a campaign targeting youth and introducing them to the Center’s various activities and the largest initiative focused on instilling awareness and the advancement of the aspirations of young people towards excellence and leadership.
