Knowledge Foundation to strengthen collaboration on cultural and knowledge projects
The Abu Dhabi Arabic Language Centre (ALC) has signed a strategic Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) with the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF)
to enhance collaboration across various cultural and intellectual fields, opening new prospects for
supporting youth cultural engagement.

Under the terms of the MoU, the Foundation will offer ALC members specialised training
programmes, developed in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme
(UNDP), to enhance participants’ skills and capabilities. The partnership also sets the stage for
fruitful cooperation in the field of translation. Talented Emirati graduates of MBRF’s Translation
Programme contribute to the ALC’s Kalima Translation Project.

The two organisations will coordinate efforts to nominate outstanding participants from MBRF’s
creative content development programmes for the Centre’s literary awards and research grants, in
an effort to further support Arabic content and creativity. They will also collaborate on print and
digital publishing, providing integrated services such as typesetting, layout, translation, design, and
printing, while committing to international quality standards at competitive prices.

The MoU was signed at the MBRF headquarters in Dubai by His Excellency Dr Ali bin Tamim,
Chairman of ALC, and His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of MBRF. His Excellency bin Tamim
asserted that the strategic partnership with the MBRF marks a significant milestone in efforts to
open broader prospects for the youth development, providing them with important opportunities to
hone their skills in various cultural and creative domains.

His Excellency Dr Ali bin Tamim, Chairman of ALC, said: “This collaboration represents a step
forward in the promotion of culture and knowledge in the UAE and across the Arab world. It
enhances the position of the Arabic language, empowering it to achieve its rightful global status as
a modern and intellectual language requires collective efforts to present a comprehensive vision
for enriching the cultural landscape and inspiring creativity.”

Furthermore, this partnership aligns with the Centre’s strategic vision to continuously develop
Arabic content and support young talents in writing and creative fields, which helps foster
generations of avid readers who are passionate about Arabic literature, arts, and sciences.”
