This membership aligns with Al-Mubarak’s extensive experience in humanitarian, charitable, and volunteer work, offering opportunities to exchange experiences and institutional practices, develop initiatives supporting empowerment and capacity building, and enhance the sustainable impact of humanitarian efforts. The board’s directions are consistent with “Dihad Agenda 2044,” which aims to develop humanitarian work and transition from crisis response to building more resilient and self-reliant communities, through five key pillars: sustainability, global partnerships, empowerment, education and capacity building, and innovation for humanity. This membership will expand opportunities for Kuwaiti expertise to participate in international humanitarian dialogue, strengthen knowledge exchange, and develop development partnerships that support the most vulnerable groups.
