Saudi Awqaf Authority Annual Reports, 2018-2024

Official annual reports from the General Authority for Awqaf in Saudi Arabia cover the period from 2018 to 2024. The 56.8 MB collection of PDFs provides governmental information on institutional development, governance, endowment assets, and sectoral expenditures. Author Hajed A.
