Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed chairs 2nd meeting of International Humanitarian and Philanthropy Council
ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD) His Highness Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Chairman of the Presidential Court for Development and Fallen Heroes' Affairs and Chairman of the International Humanitarian and Philanthropic Council (IHPC), has chaired the second IHPC meeting. The meeting discussed the strategic direction of the foreign aid sector and reviewed the 2024 Foreign Aid Report, as well as programmes to empower professionals in the humanitarian sector. His Highness emphasised the importance of collective efforts among all relevant local entities to implement diverse humanitarian and development initiatives across various countries, in alignment with the UAE's civilisational mission toward development and prosperity. This mission, which was established by the Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, has been reinforced by His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE. The UAE is steadfast in its international humanitarian commitment to supporting communities in need and providing sustainable development solutions to address pressing challenges across global priority areas. His Highness Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan stressed the importance of aligning the UAE's humanitarian and development programmes with national priorities and the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals – particularly in areas such as education, healthcare systems, disease eradication, poverty and hunger alleviation, water security, economic growth, environmental preservation, and biodiversity. His Highness noted that the UAE's numerous projects across different continents reflect its pioneering role in humanitarian and development fields on a global scale. The meeting affirmed the importance of institutionalising the UAE's generosity as a pioneering model in international aid and development, while enhancing the dignity and prosperity of communities at the receiving end. It also highlighted the UAE's ongoing approach of leveraging resources, capabilities, and partnerships to support needy communities. The goal is to work with partners to achieve lasting and sustainable humanitarian impact, enhance innovation and sustainability, integrate foreign aid programmes to create economic opportunities, and improve effective communication in humanitarian work. The meeting also reviewed the Humanitarian Foresight Programme, which aims to empower leaders at varying levels by enhancing their skills, knowledge, and experience. The programme equips participants with the latest scientific and technological knowledge in humanitarian and development fields, aligned with national priorities. It also strengthens the capabilities of professionals in donor institutions and charitable organisations to plan and implement a variety of humanitarian and development initiatives globally. The meeting also addressed the council's support for the Master of Arts in Humanitarian and Development Work at the Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy. This aligns with the council's objectives to enhance specialised competencies among personnel in relevant humanitarian institutions – particularly the UAE Aid Agency. The programme aims to refine participants' decision-making and multicultural team management skills, enhance their ability to run humanitarian programmes, and deepen their understanding of development and humanitarian studies within the context of international relations, international law, diplomacy, and global humanitarian and development priorities. The meeting was attended by Her Excellency Shamma bint Suhail Al Mazrouei, Minister of Community Empowerment; His Excellency Faris Mohammed Al Mazrouei, Advisor at the Presidential Court; His Excellency Dr Hamdan Musallam Al Mazrouei, Chairman of the UAE Red Crescent Authority; and His Excellency Mohamed Saif Al Suwaidi, Director General of the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development.

Sharjah meet seeks inclusion for differently-abled
The emirate of Sharjah continues its preparation to host Inclusion International's 18th World Congress 'We are Inclusion,' which will be held under the patronage of His Highness Dr. Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, from September 15 - 17 September. Taking place for the first time in the Middle East and North Africa region, the congress is organised by Sharjah City for Humanitarian Services (SCHS) in strategic partnership with Inclusion International. The official three-day programme will feature 83 insightful and proactive sessions, in addition to key events held prior to the official opening. These include the Self-Advocacy Summit on September 14, bringing together 280 advocates from around the world, and the Families Summit, which gathers 140 families of people with disabilities on the same day, with the presence of dignitaries and senior officials. The congress is the premier event of 'Inclusion International', held every four years since its inception in 1963, with previous editions hosted in the UK, Mexico, Australia, and Kenya. Hosting the event in Sharjah this year reflects the international community's confidence and the emirate's pioneering role in supporting and empowering people with intellectual disabilities. 'We Are Inclusion' motivates collective action This year's congress will bring together a diverse range of participants from the five major continents, including representatives of self-advocacy organisations, family organisations, healthcare and education providers, social institutions, inclusive businesses, development organisations, along with government leaders, and policy experts from around the world. The theme also dedicates central space to self-advocates; individuals with intellectual disabilities speaking for their rights; who will lead sessions and share experiences directly with decision-makers. The congress focuses on a number of key pillars, strengthening self-advocacy, training advocates, raising family awareness, amplifying voices to policymakers, supporting people during crises, enhancing mental health, planning for the future after parental loss, and implementing international conventions. Sue Swenson, President of Inclusion International said: "This World Congress marks an important milestone in our movement. For the first time, we gather in the Mena region to work with our member Sharjah City for Humanitarian Services to bring our global network together.' 'Our partnership shows what's possible when regional leadership and global advocacy come together with a shared purpose. At the heart of it are self-advocates, families, and organisations leading real change. This is what inclusion looks like in practice. We are Inclusion," she emphasised. Through these pillars, the World Congress in Sharjah builds upon the emirate's reputation as a global hub for humanitarian and rights-based impact, and as a gateway to a new era of international cooperation for the empowerment of people with intellectual disabilities. 200 member organisations from 115 countries 'Inclusion International' comprises over 200 member organisations from 115 countries, spanning five key regions: the Middle East and North Africa (8 countries and 11 organisations); Europe (16 countries and 20 organisations); Africa (14 countries and 19 organisations); the Americas (16 countries and 34 organisations); and Asia and the Pacific (10 countries and 23 organisations). The organisation also serves as the official representative of people with intellectual disabilities and their families at the United Nations and other global forums. In addition to being a platform for sharing experiences and policies, the congress aims to highlight the achievements of Inclusion International's network over the past decades, such as the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in 2006, and the endorsement of the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015. Other notable achievements include the contribution of members to successfully amending national laws in favour of people with disabilities, which positions the congress as a new milestone in advancing the global vision of inclusive and equitable societies. SCHS invites all stakeholders, governmental and private entities, civil society organisations, academic centres, parents, and experts to participate in this global event, engage with its themes and recommendations, and contribute to building inclusive and just environments founded on the principles of justice, equality, and human rights.
