Ashghal, QLC sign MoU on use of QSurvey

Doha: The Public Works Authority ‘Ashghal’ and Qatar Leadership Centre (QLC) yesterday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for use of world’s first bilingual online survey and research tool — QSurvey.

QSurvey is a highly versatile survey tool that allows organizations to securely draw on data in order to engage with the relevant stakeholders, complement projects and decision-making processes with accurate statistics, package respondent information easily for presentations, as well as export data to licensed enterprise IT systems. Governmental organizations may rely on its data services for an increasing number of e-government services, while scientific and healthcare organizations may utilise the digital space for enhanced collaboration and original data collection. 

Its body of target audiences is wide-ranging and includes media and marketing companies as well as leading academic institutions within the QLC network that benefit from the multi-service platform. 

QSurvey, its website www.QSurvey.com and corresponding mobile app were launched in April 2018 under the patronage of H E Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Chairperson of the QLC Board of Directors, as a free platform for efficient data storage and processing. 

Speaking at the signing ceremony held at Ashghal headquarters, Dr. Eng. Saad bin Ahmad Al Muhannadi, President of the Public Works Authority, said that through the development of innovative platforms such as QSurvey, QLC was spearheading a national effort of advancement within the spheres of technology and research.

“At Ashghal, our key strategic objective is to develop capabilities and increase the national companies’ contribution to Qatar’s supply chain. We seek partnerships with leading national institutions such as Qatar Leadership Centre, to ensure effective and sustainable contribution to the national development. This MoU is a collaborative effort aimed at accelerating the pace of development by building on the capabilities of modern data collection. Through the use of QSurvey, Ashghal’s scope will effectively permeate both the physical and digital infrastructure developments of Qatar.” 

Commenting on the benefits of the joint initiative, Dr. Ali Jassim Al Kubaisi, Acting Managing Director at QLC, said: “We are delighted to enter into a new partnership with Ashghal – a national body that is at the forefront of leading the development of Qatar’s infrastructure. As a key player for the future socio-economic growth of the country, Ashghal shares common objectives for advancement and responsive adaptability to modern challenges and opportunities.”
