3/17/25, 2:47 PM Board of Trustees at MAJRA reviews previous year’s achievements and outcomes during its first meeting in 2025
The session discussed the proposed plans and initiatives that support the Fund’s
objectives while meeting ESG standards and provided a comprehensive review of the
Fund’s achievements in 2024, highlighting key action plans, initiatives, and phases that
drove positive outcomes at institutional, community, and national levels. Among the
topics discussed were the Fund’s strategic partnerships and private sector initiatives, as
well as decisions related to the second edition of ‘Impact Seal’ and the evaluation
mechanisms. Additionally, the meeting reviewed the outputs of the previous year’s
Impact Retreat, the Youth Portfolio, and the Sustainable Impact Committees.

Sarah Shaw, Executive Director of MAJRA, emphasised the Fund’s pivotal role in
advancing societal progress, particularly through youth-driven initiatives that build the
younger generation’s skills and foster their increased participation in CSR projects. She
also said that Majra seeks to develop programs

and events that urge private sector companies to formulate strategies and initiatives
benefitting society and the country.

She added: “This meeting is a key milestone in our strategy to support national efforts
and promote social responsibility within private sector companies. By reviewing our
achievements and aligning future initiatives with national priorities, we aim to launch
more innovative programs and adopt new mechanisms to promote sustainable
development, while also enhancing private sector engagement and strengthening the
Fund’s contributions to societal progress. Through these efforts, we hope to further
cement the Fund’s role as a federal body that supports sustainable projects and delivers
tangible social impact.”

At the conclusion of the meeting, board members reaffirmed their commitment to
MAJRA’s strategic plans and goals, recognising the importance of channelling private
sector contributions towards projects that align with national priorities. They also
underscored the significance of promoting CSR initiatives and establishing the UAE’s
leadership in social responsibility.
