Sarah Shaw, Director of the National CSR Fund – MAJRA, said: “At MAJRA, we are committed to aligning the capabilities
of the private sector with our country’s national priorities in the areas of corporate social responsibility, sustainability and
sustainable impact. As part of our efforts to enhance awareness of CSR across businesses, we create an ecosystem that can
measure the impact of CSR initiatives in the UAE and assess their effectiveness, as well as develop a framework to evaluate
company contributions and the impact of these contributions.”

The retreat featured a variety of discussion sessions centred on five national priority axes, including education, arts, culture
and history, the environment, health care, and technology, to develop proposed projects. The participants were divided into
two main categories, with the first group, ‘main community segments,’ representing youth and students, women and girls, the
elderly, people of determination, and families and the second group, ‘secondary community segments,’ indicating small
companies, entrepreneurs, creative experts, third sector institutions and community members.

During the Impact Retreat, participants reviewed a wide array of innovative and creative ideas that help the Fund’s
development initiatives and build new foundations for society. Over the course of the next three years, MAJRA will implement
several selected initiatives in line with its goals of mitigating the pressing social issues and advancing the UAE’s vision of
sustainability and prosperity.
