MAJRA – National CSR Fund held its second Policies and Strategies Committee meeting for

national impact.

The meeting was Chaired by H.E Mubarak Al Nakhi, Undersecretary of the Ministry of

assessment mechanisms, and introducing new initiatives such as the Impact Index. It also
addressed the 'Transformational Projects Framework', which is being developed by the
Emirati committees for social responsibility and sustainability, chaired by the chambers of
commerce and industry in each emirate. The strategy formulated as a part of the Impact
Retreat held in November 2024 was also reviewed, and strategic initiatives aligning with the
UAE's vision to enhance social sustainability, were launched.

in accordance with their forward-looking directives, we are creating a roadmap to build a
more sustainable and prosperous future by strengthening the private sector's corporate social
responsibility framework. We also hope to enhance sustainable impact and expand the
participation of private sector institutions in light of global changes and best international
