The organization is supported by trade and economic deals between the kingdom and African countries and is overseen by Royal Charity Organization Board Chairman Nasser Al Khalifa and King Hamad Al Khalifa.

Sayyar’s detailed report was delivered during meetings with executives and committees of top officials from the Gulf Cooperation Council and the General Secretariat of the GCC. During the General Secretariat in Riyadh, the dignitaries discussed the benefit of collaborating with African countries and organizations.
