Dubai International Humanitarian Aid & Development Conference & Exhibition – DIHAD

Established in 2004, DIHAD connects aid and assistance providers with the corporate and government sectors.

Its aim is simple: to create and foster meaningful synergies that support those in need around the world, and to build bridges throughout global humanitarian aid and development communities.

DIHAD therefore brings together key decision-makers from leading NGOs, UN agencies, charity organisations and governmental bodies, as well as aid, education and construction providers from the private sector. Together, attendees address the needs of the people and countries who are affected by crises, disasters and natural calamities.

Now in its 19th edition, DIHAD 2023 will focus on the theme ‘Energy and Aid: capitalising on available resources’. This agenda will focus on the way many energy sources have increasingly limited output, while others may be made inaccessible, as demand grows.

This energy crisis has major implications for those populations in need of humanitarian aid. And, as it continues to bite, the aim is that the DIHAD conference will enable the world to analyse key issues, plan accordingly and be better prepared.
