Building partnerships for relief and development

Welcome to the Aid and International Development Forum

The Aid and International Development Forum is a leading platform for communication, coordination and partnership between aid agencies, UN organisations, business and government. Its primary objective is to promote the delivery of more effective humanitarian aid and sustainable development on a global scale.

The core component is the annual event. An exhibition with workshops, panel discussions and learning sessions, it is the leading global gathering for the humanitarian sector. A marketplace for suppliers to the myriad of government, NGO and not for profit organisations that distribute and administer aid and aid funding, it is also a networking and meeting opportunity for many stakeholders from the humanitarian sector, encouraging debate and discussion on the hottest topics of the day.

The 2010 event will be held in Washington D.C., and will be known as AIDF. This event will incorporate the existing International Aid & Trade Event, while adding greater emphasis to the volume of aid funding that goes into economic development across the globe.
AIDF is supported by a number of publications;

The International Aid & Trade Review is the only independent global, annual publication in the sector.

The Directory of Suppliers & Providers of Humanitarian Relief is a database of contacts and information for suppliers and organisations across the sector.

The AIDF E-bulletin carries humanitarian aid and development news and information to a worldwide distribution.
