Qatar Unveils Ambitious 2024–2030 National Development Strategy Aligned with Vision 2030
In a significant move towards shaping its future, Qatar’s cabinet recently greenlit the draft of its third National Development Strategy (NDS3) for the period 2024–2030. This strategic roadmap closely aligns with the overarching goals of the Qatar National Vision 2030, reflecting the nation’s commitment to becoming an advanced state, capable of achieving sustainable development and ensuring the well-being of its population.
Key Pillars and Objectives
NDS3 places a strong emphasis on competitiveness, innovation, and the support of institutional excellence, all while striking a balance between sustainable growth and social cohesion. Aligned with the Qatar National Vision 2030’s four basic pillars — human, social, economic, and environmental development — this strategy charts a comprehensive course for the nation’s progress.
Economic Goals and Diversification
To achieve robust economic growth, the State aims for a 4% increase until 2030, propelled by expanded gas production and accelerated economic diversification. Qatar further aspires to secure a position among the top 10 destinations globally for investors. In pursuit of financial sustainability, NDS3 outlines plans for medium-term public budgets, drawing from diverse and stable revenue sources, with a notable increase from non-hydrocarbon sectors.
Human Development and Social Welfare
Recognizing the pivotal role of human development, Qatar is committed to building a competitive, highly skilled workforce. The public sector will undergo transformative changes with the adoption of a new performance management system and the implementation of skills-building programs in government institutions. Importantly, NDS3 aims to focus on the social welfare of citizens, extending support to vulnerable groups including the elderly, sick, and physically challenged.
Environmental Sustainability
NDS3 takes a proactive stance on environmental sustainability by ensuring the efficient management and protection of fundamental environmental elements. Qatar pledges a 25% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, rationalized electricity and water consumption, and a transition to a circular economy.
Business Opportunities and Support
In parallel, Business Start Up Qatar is actively supporting Qatar’s development by offering a network of experts and specialists across various business lifecycle stages. From Market Research and Assessment to Business Model Development and Company Formation, the organization plays a pivotal role in fostering entrepreneurship in the region.
