asmaa - | Arab News

The Standing Committee for Combating Terrorism and its Financing, operating under the auspices of the Presidency of State Security, has recently formalized a coordination protocol by partnering with the National Center for the Development of the Non-Profit Sector.

This collaborative agreement has been initiated to fortify coordination efforts, specifically with the objective of preventing the misappropriation of non-profit organizations for potentially illicit purposes.

A key aspect of the protocol revolves around the imperative of raising awareness within the community. By fostering a deeper understanding of the potential risks associated with non-profit activities, the collaboration seeks to fortify the safety and integrity of such organizations. The overarching aim is to establish safeguards that prevent the exploitation of non-profit entities for illegitimate or dubious purposes, ensuring they remain true to their intended missions.

In addition to its preventative measures, the agreement is geared towards capacity building. The collaborative effort aims to enhance the capabilities of non-profit organizations, aligning them with established national regulations and in harmony with international standards. This strategic approach seeks to fortify the resilience of non-profit entities by providing them with the necessary tools and knowledge to operate effectively within legal frameworks.

The partnership between the Standing Committee for Combating Terrorism and its Financing and the National Center for the Development of the Non-Profit Sector underscores a commitment to the principles of transparency and integrity within the non-profit sector. By establishing protocols that align with national regulations and global standards, the collaboration contributes to the overall enhancement of the credibility and impact of non-profit work in the region.

This protocol represents a proactive measure to address potential vulnerabilities within the non-profit sector, showcasing a commitment to robust governance and the prevention of misuse. As both entities work in tandem, the partnership strives to create an environment where non-profit organizations can thrive, contribute meaningfully to societal well-being, and remain resilient against any potential threats or challenges.
