Qatar Population

The Permanent Population Committee is a national body mandated to align population requirements with sustainable development, guided by the principles of Islamic Sharia, the values of Qatari society, the Constitution, the State’s political orientations, and Qatar National Vision 2030. Its work is also aligned with the Millennium Development Goals in the State of Qatar, the GCC Population Strategy, and other relevant regional and international frameworks. The Committee is responsible for developing the institutional framework necessary to coordinate activities related to the formulation, implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and updating of national population policies and programs. It also updates the material, media, and information-related measures required to integrate population issues, public health, reproductive health, gender, and the requirements of balanced social and economic development with the needs and growing aspirations of the population, in accordance with cultural standards and human rights principles.
