Doha, Qatar: The Qatar Fund For Development (QFFD) continues to widen its footprint in global education, with ongoing projects across conflict-affected and low-income regions, according to the QFFD’s Global Advocacy Coordinator Oweis Al-Salahi. 

While the QFFD has not specified a fixed number of countries, Al-Salahi speaking to The Peninsula recently said the organisation’s global map “shows the regions where we operate,” noting extensive work “across many regions worldwide.” Current priority areas include Syria, Palestine, Afghanistan, and “several countries across the African continent.”

Al-Salahi, whose role focuses on amplifying Qatar’s leadership in global development, particularly in education, health and resilience, said his work centres on ensuring “that QFFD’s voice is present in shaping international agendas and driving partnerships that deliver real impact.”

Speaking about the tangible outcomes of the QFFD’s education programmes, he said, “With our holistic financing approach, we see ourselves driving global dialogue, an essential part of transforming communities affected by war or poverty.”
