(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Doha International Family Institute (DIFI), recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the United Nation's Population Fund, the Arab States Regional Office (UNFPA-ASRO).
By contributing to the global knowledge base on issues facing the Arab family, encouraging knowledge exchange, and ensuring prioritisation by policy-makers, DIFI supports Qatar Foundation's mission to contribute to human development and productive change while promoting Qatar's transformation into a successful knowledge-based economy.
The MoU between the UNFPA-ASRO and DIFI will provide a comprehensive framework to facilitate collaboration in areas of common interest, specifically in addressing Arab family issues.
Together, the organisations aim to further progress in the region through the collaboration and engagement of civil society in raising awareness on the importance of family and empowering women, involving men and powerful stakeholders through advocacy and policy dialogue, and unacceptable practices such as Gender Based Violence (GBV), child or early marriage.
Noor Al Malki Al Jehani, Executive Director of DIFI, said, "The MoU will provide opportunities for capacity building, exchange and transfer of best practice and research and studies. It will also provide a framework for working with UNFPA on joint projects and advocacy activities that will enhance the role of both organisations in attaining human and sustainable development goals in the region."
Said Mohamed Abdel Ahad, Regional Director of Arab States - United Nations Population fund (UNFPA) said, "The partnership will utilise UNFPA's international experience and DIFI's strong research capacity and regional outreach to technically support DIFI's flagship report on the 'State of Arab Family'.
