أطلق مركز الإنماء الاجتماعي »نماء«، أحد مراكز المؤسسة القطرية للعمل الاجتماعي، النسخة الثالثة من جائزة الريادة الاجتماعية.

Nama Social Development Center, part of Qatar Foundation for Social Work, has opened the third edition of its Social Entrepreneurship Award.

Three tracks: QR 200,000 for the best existing social venture, QR 100,000 for the best idea, and QR 60,000 for the secondary-schools competition across the boys' and girls' streams.

New this year is an intensive training programme for shortlisted idea-holders — from understanding the social problem to building something workable, sustainable and measurable. Partners also helped define specific societal challenges for entrants to build against.

Entries are judged on clarity of the problem, fit between solution and need, expected impact, feasibility and scale, and measurable results.

The record: the 2024 first edition crowned Autism Families Platform and the Central Canteen project; the second added the schools competition, with 31 schools taking part.

Executive Director Ghanem Salah Al Ali said the award is a space for learning and development alongside competition and recognition. Applications go through the centre's website.

Built in Qatar. Shared with the World.
