Firmly established as the largest humanitarian event in the Middle East, the exhibition has provided an ideal platform for networking. DIHAD 2012 will feature companies that specialise in supplying appropriate goods and services for disaster response operations, humanitarian aid projects and development programmes.
Recognised as the leading humanitarian event in the region, DIHAD is attended by key decision makers, procurement and logistics officials from leading international, regional & local NGOs, UN Agencies, Governmental Departments and international associations.
Dubai is increasingly positioning itself as a global hub for a variety of humanitarian support services and functions. Against a backdrop of increasing humanitarian activities in and from Dubai, it seems only natural to use this energetic and strategic hub to stage this meeting of relief agencies, NGOs, donors and procurers. http://www.dihad.org/exhibition.php

Theme: The Role and Importance of Youth in Humanitarian Assistance and Development
Humanitarian Assistance and Development Programmes are conceived and implemented, to a large extent, with the objective of benefiting the youth in targeted areas. Moreover, youth are increasingly instrumental in implementing these activities and it is indeed the youth of today who will have to live, tomorrow, with what is accomplished.
Youth, through the internet and social networking sites, are increasingly aware of their influence in the process of bringing about change. The Conference will thus address topics relating to youth as agents of change, youth as innovators, youth as volunteers and youth as those needing the skills for the opportunities and responsibilities of the future. Also, and this always with a clear focus on humanitarian assistance and development activities, the Conference will examine the role of youth in conflict as well as in post-conflict reconciliation. Also, and as decided by DIHAD’s International Scientific Advisory Board at its last meeting, all DIHAD events will henceforth have a session on “Humanitarian Trends” as well as a session on “Chronic Emergencies”, thereby providing a yearly update on related developments.
The DIHAD 2012 event will attempt to involve, besides the usual stakeholders and partners, a number of speakers from youth associations.
