Qatar Charity (QC) and the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) have signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding to address major challenged faced by displaced people around the world.
The MoU was signed by QC's Governance and External Relations assistant CEO Mohammed al-Ghamdi and NRC's Institutional Partnerships director Martin Andreas Suvatne.
The MoU will enhance collaboration in the fields of humanitarian assistance and development that would benefit vulnerable communities in crisis-affected regions, a QC statement said Tuesday.
The collaboration will provide both organisations with the opportunity to explore new avenues of support in areas such as humanitarian aid, sustainable solutions, education, and water and sanitation.
Efforts will be carried out through joint programmes and innovative projects designed to deliver comprehensive solutions to refugees and displaced people in numerous countries.
Al-Ghamdi described the MoU as part of QC's continuous pursuit of strategic alliances with global organisations that share its mission, particularly those focused on providing aid to displaced people and communities affected by crises.
"Our partnership with the Norwegian Refugee Council will open new doors for collaboration in humanitarian aid, sustainable solutions, and technical knowledge sharing, ultimately enhancing our ability to achieve meaningful and lasting impact in crisis zones."
Suvatne stated the partnership is a positive step toward strengthening global humanitarian efforts. He added that NRC, which supports refugees and displaced persons in over 40 countries, highly values the collaboration with QC and hopes the MoU will lead to fruitful outcomes in delivering humanitarian assistance and sustainable solutions to displacement.
"Working together, we can enhance crisis response and provide much-needed aid to communities affected by conflicts and disasters," he added.
Founded after the Second World War, NRC operates in more than 40 countries, with a focus on providing aid in areas such as food security, education, legal protection, shelter, and water and sanitation, the statement added.
