CONVENE

WHF is one of the world’s leading global  convenors, bringing together its expansive community of institutions and individuals to  address the most complex and challenging  issues of our time.

CONNECT

Our community provides the foundation of all  that we do. WHF provides a unique environment; members have the opportunity to be part of  the partnership developments, connect with an  immense network of global leaders, and find  opportunities for creating partnerships and  alliances that align with their areas of interest.

CHANGE

The global challenges require a global response. The world quickly needs to develop and deploy effective responses, and without action. Countries, organisations and stakeholders around the world are invited to join forces. WHF partners with organisations and campaigns around the world to maintain funding for the life-changing programmes through pledging actions.

CONVENINGS/SUMMITS

Throughout its convenings and summits, WHF assembles senior decision-makers as well as thought leaders from around the world, including heads of state, ministers, leading personalities of international and non-governmental organisations, high-ranking representatives from businesses, the media, academia, and civil society to debate pressing issues of humanity and planet.

EXHIBITIONS

WHF presents 2 themed exhibitions featuring the scopes of humanitarian aid, international development, disaster response, resilience and management. These themed exhibitions assist to discover innovative technologies and operational solutions, share experiences and unify collaborative approaches.

DIALOGUES

To facilitate the convening power and accelerate conversations during the pandemic, World Humanitarian Forum launched its digital series and continues to progress these conversations in order to break silos and deliver action. Formerly Digital Series, now Dialogues are composed of WHFtalks, WHFpodcast and WHFwebinars.

PUBLICATIONS

WHF provides an international forum for debate and dialogue on today’s challenges and possible ways to address them. As part of these efforts, WHF publishes reports and white papers that analyse developments in selected subject areas and regions.
