Awqaf Ministry launches Endowment Studies Center
H.E. Ghanem bin Shaheen Al Ghanem officially inaugurated the Centre for Endowment Studies yesterday, with prominent officials from Niger in attendance. During the ceremony, the Minister expressed his vision for the centre to become a global leader in endowment research. Sheikh Dr. Khalid bin Mohammed Al Thani, Director-General of the General Administration of Endowments at the Ministry, highlighted in his address that the opening of the center aligns with the recent legal, technological, and other advancements in Qatari endowments.
The center’s initiatives will focus on various areas aimed at promoting endowment culture both within Qatar and internationally. These initiatives include the publication of verified academic works and theses, the establishment of the International Research Award, the launch of the Endowment Scout—the most extensive database on endowments, the creation of a peer-reviewed journal for publishing research and scholarly articles, and the organization of specialized seminars and training programs.
Khadidjah Diallo, Director-General of Niger’s High Authority for Waqf, praised Qatar’s successful approach to managing endowment projects and humanitarian efforts. Her visit to Qatar provided valuable insights into the country’s expertise in these areas and allowed her to engage with key project stakeholders.
