Commenting on the partnership, Qatar’s Deputy Undersecretary for Economic Affairs at the Ministry of Finance Dr Saud Abdulla Al Attiyah said, “The signed agreement is part of Qatar’s ongoing initiatives to reinforce its commitment to multilateral work with the goal of contributing to the development of financial sustainability, as well as enhancing joint cooperation, which reflects Qatar’s deep interest in education as a fundamental pillar for achieving sustainable development.”
For his part, CEO of EAA Foundation Fahad Al Sulaiti emphasised the critical role of innovative financing in sustainable development, particularly in education, saying, “Innovative financing has lightened the debt load for low- and middle-income countries, allowing for more funds to be devoted locally to education. Through strong partnerships, we are driving innovative solutions that will transform the lives of communities and impact millions of children worldwide.”
Vice-President of the People Vice-Presidency at the World Bank Mamta Murthi expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, saying, “The rewards of education extend vastly across individuals and societies, enhancing economic opportunities and aiding in eradicating poverty. We are thrilled to partner with the Education Above All Foundation to bolster the human capital of young people globally, especially those most vulnerable.”
