As part of its newly adopted procedures to accelerate project delivery, Qatar Charity (QC) has commenced the immediate implementation of 53 competitive development projects upon receipt of donations, as of the fifth day of the holy month of Ramadan.
This approach coincides with Qatar Charity’s Ramadan campaign, “Good Starts With You”, and reflects a practical translation of the organization’s new operational mechanisms, introduced at the beginning of this year. These measures are designed to ensure the rapid execution of development projects immediately after they are funded by donors.
To enable swift implementation, Qatar Charity completed advance preparations ahead of Ramadan for 4,213 development projects across four key sectors: education and culture, economic empowerment, social housing, and water and sanitation. The projects will be implemented across nine Asian and African countries, namely: Bangladesh, Indonesia, Tanzania, Niger, Djibouti, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Nigeria, and Chad.
The new mechanisms adopted by Qatar Charity to ensure rapid project execution include the advance preparation of targeted sites by identifying proposed regions and cities and verifying their on-the-ground readiness. This allows work to begin immediately once a project is approved.
The measures also include early contracting procedures, through the preparation of framework agreements in advance with contractors and suppliers, enabling immediate contracting once funding is received and significantly reducing procedural timelines. In addition, government permits and licenses are secured in advance to avoid implementation delays, while beneficiary selection and due diligence processes are completed prior to funding, ensuring that execution begins as soon as a project is launched.
In a press statement, Mr. Ibrahim Abdulrahman Al-Janahi, Director of Development Operations at Qatar Charity, said that these measures—implemented through close coordination between the organization’s executive management at headquarters, its field offices, and partners—will significantly reduce project implementation timelines and maximize humanitarian impact for beneficiaries. He added that the new approach also strengthens Qatar Charity’s relationship with donors from both the individual and institutional sectors. Mr. Al‑Janahi said that Qatar Charity aims to apply these procedures to all its projects as soon as possible.
Qatar Charity urges donors to continue supporting its Ramadan campaign projects to reach as many beneficiaries as possible.
