AMMAN (JT) - Her Majesty Queen Rania on Wednesday highlighted the importance of synergy and joint planning among her 10 organisations to ensure an integrated and well coordinated response to the challenges lying ahead.
With a view to strengthening coordination, the 10 nonprofit organisations convened at the International Academy-Amman (IAA) yesterday to focus on setting strategic goals for the future.
The day-long proceedings began with a meeting attended by director-level staff from the 10 affiliations: Madrasati, Royal Health Awareness Society, Al Aman Fund, IAA, Jordan Education Initiative, Jordan River Foundation, Children's Museum, National Council for Family Affairs, Queen Rania's Teacher Academy and Queen Rania Award for Excellence in Education.
Her Majesty then joined attendees as well as employees from the organisations, and was briefed by their respective directors on the latest developments, achievements and work plan for the year ahead.
Addressing the group, Queen Rania underscored the need for all relevant institutions to participate in genuine partnership and productive dialogue, while recognising their independent roles, responsibilities and expertise as indispensable.
"Your diversity is the source of your strength, yet you must work together as a family, constantly reevaluating your strengths, weaknesses and priorities to meet the challenges ahead," Her Majesty told over 400 representatives assembled at the meeting.
In a group discussion, participants reviewed their alignment with Her Majesty's overall vision, which prioritises the promotion of education, and community empowerment at both the national and international levels.
The group also discussed issues related to communication, fundraising, programming and internal management.
