DOHA: NAMA (The Social Development Center), one of Qatar Foundation for Social Work's affiliated centres, is participating in the ninth annual Qatar International Food Festival 2018 held at the Sheraton Hotel Park.
The centre aims at enabling owners of the projects incubated by NAMA to gain easy and affordable access to the local market, alongside strengthening the knowledge and experience they have acquired.
These incubated projects can undertake successful businesses in a competitive global environment. It is an opportunity to exchange experiences, where the owners of these projects come together alongside leading international chefs from Doha hotels and high-end restaurants to compete in offering most delicious dishes that are made of fresh ingredients and cooked in the best style, in addition to offering many healthy food options that are suitable for all ages.
This participation also serves the purpose of monitoring, optimization, and impact measurement, especially in light of the fact that the International Food Festival is one of the major events organised annually by the Qatar Tourism Authority, and is attended by leading food companies from inside and outside Qatar; it also hosts various entertainment and cultural activities and attracts thousands of visitors daily.
NAMA is committed to providing various types of support to small and micro enterprises in order to accelerate their growth and ensure their sustainability in the local market. This includes incubation, management, and training services, workshops, consultation programs, and awareness-raising gatherings, as well as motivation, promotion, and financing programs.
Mariam bint Abdul Latif Al Mannai, Executive Director of NAMA, said: 'We are keen to take part in the annual International Food Festival to highlight and give an opportunity to NAMA's incubation projects, thus contributing to achieving Qatar National Vision 2030, besides the promotion and marketing of these projects in line with the general message of the festival, which is a useful way to promote community partnership and encourage institutions and members of the society to provide various kinds of support for entrepreneurs and small and micro enterprises.
She pointed out that NAMA seeks to raise entrepreneurship awareness throughout the Qatari community and to promote entrepreneurial projects by enabling them to carry out productive and marketing activities easily. It also aims at removing the obstacles facing these projects to ensure their success and to empower and support entrepreneurship in the local market.
Al Mannai extended thanks to QTA, as well as the public and private sector organisations, for their valuable initiatives and contributions that helped achieve the mission and strategic objectives of empowering young local-economy entrepreneurs.
