MAKKAH: Saudi Arabia’s nonprofit sector is transforming from a traditional charitable ecosystem into a strategic driver of social innovation and community-led development, according to the general manager and spokesperson for the country’s National Center for Nonprofit Sector.
Abdullah Al-Shomer spoke to Arab News about how the sector is evolving faster than anticipated.
“The NCNP regulates, empowers and connects nonprofit organizations across Saudi Arabia,” he said.
“We are not a funder, and we are not a charity ourselves; we are an enabler.”
The center provides licensing mechanisms, governance frameworks and transparency tools designed to ensure sustainable expansion across the Kingdom.
