The award consists of five categories, including individuals, families, non-profit organisations, the pri-vate sector, and media. It also consists of three levels, including the Rawda Award, the Shield of Excel-lence in Social Work, and a Certificate of Appreciation.

Based on Monday’s Amiri Decision establishing the award, a committee called the Rawda Award for Excellence in Social Work Trustees Committee will be established at the Ministry of Social Develop-ment and Family.

The Rawda Award for Excellence in Social Work is a national initiative that aims to instill a culture of so-cial work in the State of Qatar, promote societal values, and encourage the public and private sectors and all segments of society to compete for leadership in providing community work in all its aspects.

The Minister noted that Qatari society has always been characterised by a spirit of solidarity and giving. She stressed that the award aims to instil these values in future generations.

Al Nuaimi indicated that the details and application process for the award will be announced as soon as possible, stressing that the award will feature a transparent evaluation mechanism based on interna-tional standards to ensure that projects and initiatives that create a real and sustainable impact are honoured.
She urged all individuals, institutions, and charitable and social associations to participate in this award, emphasising that every contribution, no matter how small, can make a real difference in society.

The Minister voiced her hope that this award would serve as a platform to inspire innovation in com-munity service and promote the values of giving and social responsibility in Qatar.

This award recognizes the outstanding achievements and efforts of all groups contributing to achieving the aspirations and goals targeted by the social development pillar of Qatar National Vision 2030.
