Collaborating closely with ministries, particularly the Ministry of Finance, Revenue, and Budgets, we navigate the intricate landscape of economic policies to design and implement strategies that enhance fiscal sustainability and drive tangible results. Our engagements extend to the thorough analysis of existing strategies, identifying areas for refinement and innovation, specializing in conducting comprehensive training needs assessments, ensuring that individuals and organizations are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to navigate evolving economic landscapes successfully.
Al Jidara explores innovative approaches to increase income and focuses on strategies that boost individual earning potential and contribute to broader economic growth. Championing public-private dialogue and communication, Al Jidara creates platforms where the government and private sector can collaboratively explore opportunities, address challenges, and co-create solutions that drive economic progress. Recognizing the importance of fiscal decentralization, Al Jidara actively engages in designing and implementing frameworks that empower local entities. By fostering fiscal decentralization, we contribute to the equitable distribution of resources, empowering local governments to make informed decisions that align with the unique needs and aspirations of their communities. Through our comprehensive approach, we strive to play a pivotal role in catalyzing economic growth, resilience, and sustainability at both the macro and micro levels.
