Reconstructing Governance: Towards Effective Future Partnerships Between the Government, Private Sector and NGOs in Qatar
摘要
The current landscape of partnerships among the government, private sector, and non-governmental sector in Qatar reveals dynamics that are essential to understanding governance and public policymaking within welfare states. Drawing on a qualitative approach, 30 in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, and an analysis of relevant research documents, we have proposed a governance model designed to redefine government functions and devise a robust legal framework to govern and facilitate these partnerships. This framework establishes the roles and responsibilities of each sector, guarantees the protection of legal rights, and proposes the establishment of a supreme governing body, termed the Supreme Partnerships Council. We identified four enabling factors: (1) Efficient Regulatory Amendment, (2) Stakeholder Coordination, (3) Legal System Flexibility to accommodate sectoral evolution, and (4) Inclusiveness and Participation of all stakeholders. These insights offer practical perspectives for policymakers, government officials, and stakeholders seeking to enhance cross-sector partnerships to advance Qatar's national development goals.
