               environment, health, and technology and their progress, with a key focus on the MAJRA Project

               Accelerator for Impact Economy, which will improve the capacity and financial support to launch

               such innovative programmes. MAJRA Project Accelerator for Impact Economy prioritises private

               sector engagement, encouraging collaboration  with third  sector institutions to develop and

               implement sustainable solutions in priority areas identified by federal agencies, such as education,

               health, environment, technology, art, culture, and heritage. This aligns with MAJRA's efforts to

               contribute to the development of a sustainable impact economic system by unifying the efforts

               of all parties concerned with aspects of social responsibility and sustainability in the country.


               Attendees further discussed mechanisms for establishing partnerships with relevant entities and

               fostering  collaboration between  sustainability leaders  from  various  sectors  to  facilitate the
               exchange of ideas and expertise and drive the impact economy. Furthermore, the meeting explored

               strategies implemented and proposed to reinforce the role of MAJRA as a federal platform for

               boosting and directing private sector contributions in the field of social responsibility. This can be

               attained through initiatives for enhancing sustainable impact, nurturing a generation equipped

               with future skills and encouraging community engagement among youth and all segments of

               society. During the meeting, participants also evaluated the developments in the Impact Index, its

               key objectives and scope of work and the outcomes of the Impact Lab and strategic performance

               indicators for the first quarter of 2025. They further explored ways to develop and promote the

               Social Impact Seal among targeted companies and SMEs.
