WHO WE ARE

In the Middle East, third sector organisations (TSOs) have played a huge role in providing services to communities in need. Over time, the sector developed into one that provides services across the fields of economic development, health, education, social services, and many more.

Today, TSOs are increasingly expected to demonstrate to donors and the community, their commitment to quality assurance. However, the region struggles with a lack of unified quality standards, in turn affecting the quality of services, accountability and sustainability.

3QA is a regional social enterprise that offers organisations support through its programs and services that focus on holistic organisational management and excellence in governance. All the programs are based on a well-renowned British Quality Mark offered in partnership with the NCVO (the National Council for Voluntary Organisations), the leading agency in the UK providing quality assurance to 3rd entities.
