The Aid & international Development Forum is the world leading platform uniting policymakers, humanitarian thought leaders and the private sector to establish partnerships, nourish research collaborations, gain understanding and share experiences, particularly around food & water security and disaster relief. AIDF has been building long-lasting partnerships between key actors in the humanitarian and development market place for over 12 years through summits and exhibitions in Geneva, Washington DC and Bangkok. Following the strong support from our partners and advisors we are proud to announce our plans to launch AIDF events in 2014 also in Nairobi and Santiago de Chile, both recognised centres of operational activity and international support for the humanitarian and development sectors.
