National CSR Fund, focused on enhancing the UAE's sustainable development goals. The meeting aimed to boost cross-sector collaboration and
introduce new tools to drive national impact. Mubarak Al Nakhi, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Culture, chaired the meeting, with key figures like

Hanan Ahli and Sarah Shaw in attendance.

The committee reviewed ongoing initiatives and approved several tools to streamline sustainable project qualification processes. A significant focus

was placed on increasing private sector engagement in the fund's initiatives. New initiatives such as the Impact Index were introduced, alongside
discussions on the ‘Transformational Projects Framework’ developed by Emirati committees for social responsibility.

Mubarak Al Nakhi emphasised the importance of strengthening corporate social responsibility frameworks within the private sector. He stated,

"Inspired by the insightful vision of the UAE's wise leadership and 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." This approach aims
to enhance sustainable impact while adapting to global changes and best practices.
