Doha, Qatar: The Qatar Olympic Committee (QOC) marked the International Day for Universal Access to Information, observed annually on September 28, reaffirming its commitment to transparency, freedom of information, and fostering a culture of digital protection among its employees and partners.

This celebration underscores QOC’s leading role in adopting international best practices that guarantee access to information for all segments of society. It also reflects Qatar’s position as a pioneering sports and institutional hub in good governance, knowledge management and national capacity-building.

Over the past years, QOC has launched several initiatives aimed at raising awareness about the importance of information sharing.

Together, these measures ensure a responsible and sustainable work environment.

QOC also places great emphasis on issuing regular reports on its strategy and sustainability efforts while making key data on its activities and projects available through official channels. This approach provides the public and stakeholders with direct, reliable access to the committee’s achievements and ongoing work.

On this occasion, Eng. Fahad Ebrahim Al-Muhana, Director of Strategy and Sustainability at QOC, stated: “Our celebration of the International Day for Universal Access to Information reflects the QOC’s commitment to transparency and integrity, while empowering our national workforce with the tools of modern knowledge.
