Happening annually in Dubai, DIHAD Conference & Exhibition serves the International Humanitarian Aid and Development Community in the Middle East, Africa, and the world.
DIHAD brings together key decision-makers from leading NGOs, UN Agencies, Charity Organizations, and governmental bodies, together with aid, education, and construction providers from the private sector to address the needs of the people and countries affected by crises, disasters, and natural calamities. Dubai today is the biggest hub for global humanitarian relief, with a unique capability to deliver humanitarian aid.
The International Humanitarian City is strategically located at the crossroads of Africa, Europe, and Asia and offers the seamless infrastructure to provide rapid emergency response to the world’s major crisis areas. Dubai facilitates global aid and development by providing key humanitarian organizations with facilities, logistics, and services specifically designed to meet their needs — all grouped in a dedicated environment known as the International Humanitarian City (IHC).
IHC was founded in 2003 by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai. Based in Dubai, IHC is the largest humanitarian hub in the world with the most diverse members. It plays a pivotal role in facilitating first responses to crises at a global level efficiently. IHC has a strategic location allowing rapid relief to be within reach in all corners of the world.
