Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has hosted a specialized training workshop aimed at improving the tracking and documentation of the country's official development assistance.
The two-day workshop, held on December 16 and 17, was organized by the ministry's International Cooperation Department and delivered by experts from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
It brought together representatives from government bodies and relevant non-governmental organisations.
Opening the event, Acting Director of the International Cooperation Department, Sultan bin Ahmed Al Asiri, said the initiative aims at enhancing national systems for recording and documenting official development assistance, as well as improving reporting and classification mechanisms in line with internationally recognized standards and methodologies.
Officials said the initiative would help improve data quality, increase transparency and ensure consistency with global best practices.
The ministry said the workshop forms part of Qatar's broader efforts to enhance the effectiveness of its development contributions and to establish a coherent institutional approach to managing and documenting aid.
Qatar has repeatedly stressed its commitment to international cooperation and to supporting the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals at both regional and global levels.
