Qatar National Vision 2030

Qatar National Vision 2030 (Arabic: رؤية قطر الوطنية 2030‎‎; abbreviated as QNV 2030) is a development plan launched in October 2008 by the General Secretariat for Development Planning in the State of Qatar. The aim of QNV 2030 is to "transform Qatar into an advanced society capable of achieving sustainable development" by 2030. The plan's development goals are divided into four central pillars: economic, social, human and environmental development. The government seeks to meet development goals by developing a strong bureaucratic framework and implementing strategies to address the challenges presented in human development reports.

Qatar National Vision 2030's strategies are devised to address the challenges presented in previous human development reports published by the General Secretariat for Development Planning. The first human development report was compiled in 2006; it highlighted the potential challenges and downfalls that could beset the country if left unabated. The challenges ranged from a long-term demographic imbalance to loss of cultural heritage. This report would consequently serve as the foundation the National Development Strategy 2010–2015.

In July 2008, the Qatari government published a formal outline of QNV 2030. The General Secretariat for Development Planning announced the same month that they would issue another human development report. QNV 2030 was officially launched in October 2008. A second human development report was published in July 2009, and a third in 2012, the latter focusing on the youth population of the country.

QNV 2030's logo features green borders with green and maroon font and the figure of an eye in the center. The design is intended to be representative of Qatari culture.

QNV 2030 partitions each set of challenges and solutions into one of the following four categories of development which are known as the 'four pillars': economic, social, human or environmental.

QNV 2030's economic development strategy consists of ensuring efficient management of the national economy, taking a responsible approach towards natural resource management and working to develop a knowledge-based economy. Qatar's large expatriate population is considered an obstacle to economic development, as it creates a dependency on non nationals.

Qatar aims to achieve social development on a national scale by encouraging the adoption of Islamic philosophy and humanitarian values. The government also implements social programs to create a sense of community. Other initiatives taken by the government include promoting sports as a physical activity, fostering the country's cultural heritage, and encouraging family cohesion. Rapid population expansion is seen as a threat to social development due to Qatar's infrastructure not being developed enough to meet the rising demands.
