The Qatar Charity delegation is headed by Mr. Mohammed Ali Al-Ghamdi, Deputy CEO of Governance and corporate services. The conference is witnessing broad international participation, discussing anti-corruption policies and practices in various fields, including humanitarian work.
Commitment to Enhancing Transparency
On this occasion, Mr. Mohammed Ali Al-Ghamdi expressed Qatar Charity's pride in participating in this international conference, emphasizing that Qatar Charity has made combating corruption in humanitarian work a strategic and unwavering ethical commitment. He reiterated the organization's commitment to enhancing transparency in humanitarian work and consolidating the values of integrity in all its endeavors, recognizing that building trust is the foundation of success and sustainability. Considering the rapid technological advancements the world is witnessing and the emergence of new forms of corruption and fraud, Al-Ghamdi called for the development of a shared global system to combat corruption, particularly in the humanitarian field. This system should be based on transparency, the exchange of expertise, and the integration of roles between civil society organizations, governments, and international bodies, ultimately serving a more just and secure future for humanity.
Qatar Charity's participation includes organizing a panel discussion, holding side meetings with international partners and humanitarian organizations, and having its own pavilion at the accompanying exhibition.

The pavilion also provides space for brief meetings with visitors and partners.
