The Annual International Aid and Development Conference in Israel, in memory of Dr. Yehuda Paz, provides a unique opportunity for a professional gathering of Israel's international development and humanitarian aid community
The conference provides a singular opportunity for in-depth exploration of the complexities we've experienced since the outbreak of the war, and examine lessons and growth opportunities. Together, we'll delve into burning issues in our community and in the world of humanitarian aid and international development, and update ourselves on fascinating global trends in the field.
We invite you, members of the Israeli international development and humanitarian aid community, including civil society organizations, private companies, government representatives, research and academic institutions, philanthropy, and investment funds, to join us for a day of learning, networking, and inspiration
