AidEx Nairobi Conference 2025 - Future-Proofing Humanitarian and Development Assistance: Reimagining partnerships, innovation and locally led solutions to build resilience across East Africa
The AidEx Nairobi conference and exhibition was launched in 2014 as a satellite to our European event, focused on aid and development within Africa. It is a two-day high-profile conference attracting over 500 aid & development professionals from East Africa and beyond.
AidEx Nairobi brings together thought leaders, practitioners, and key stakeholders from the public, private and civil society sectors to redefine humanitarian and development interventions in East Africa. This event explores how we can future-proof humanitarian and development assistance by building more impactful partnerships, elevating locally-led initiatives and leveraging innovation to deliver sustainable solutions to the region’s most urgent challenges.
AidEx Nairobi takes place again this year at the Safari Park Hotel on 11-12 June 2025. The high-level audience in attendance includes UN agencies, donors, Red Cross societies, international and local NGOs, CBOs and the private sector.
