As part of the UAE's vision to empower its youth and raise awareness about
humanitarian action, DIHAD 2024 organised "Children of DIHAD." The session,
entitled "The Diplomacy in Giving World," provided a platform for children to
discuss their contributions to humanitarian diplomacy and teamwork to ensure
charity reaches those in need. This initiative aims to involve children in societal
development and community inclusion.

Furthermore, during a session titled "Humanitarian Diplomacy: Leadership and
New Actors," distinguished experts in the humanitarian sector gathered to delve
into the crucial topic of navigating leadership dynamics amidst the evolving
landscape of global crisis response.

The session aimed to shed light on the difficult relationship between traditional
humanitarian actors and emerging stakeholders in addressing complex
humanitarian challenges. From his end, Mr. Panos Moumtzis, Executive Director
of the Global Executive Leadership Initiative (GELI), shared his experiences in
navigating supply chain challenges and fostering collaboration among diverse
humanitarian actors. These discussions aimed to foster a deeper understanding
of the complexities and opportunities inherent in contemporary humanitarian
leadership.
