Fourth High-Level Forum (HLF-4) on Aid Effectiveness, Bussan, Korea, 29 November to 1 December 2011
This major international conference follows the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness of 2005 and the Accra Agenda for Action of 2008. Governments of donor countries, members of the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC) and of their partner countries in the developing world, will try to agree on further ways to make international aid for development more effective.
Over 2,000 participants are expected at the event. As an important international donor, the UAE has been invited and will send a delegation. In order to support the UAE’s preparations for the event, OCFA has created this page. It will provide links to relevant documents and discussion papers.

EIF reports provide information on current emergencies, in order to alert UAE actors to the most pressing needs resulting from a humanitarian emergency, as well as an overview of the international and UAE response to date. An EIF is issued when support from the UAE may be required due to the magnitude of the crisis or the vulnerability of the affected population.
Humanitarian Flash reports are available to UAE actors only, and provide updates on current humanitarian issues worldwide by theme, such as climate change and the global food crisis, as well as a summary of natural disasters, such as earthquakes and floods, to which there has generally not been an international response.
Humanitarian Country Profiles provide information about development and humanitarian issues within a selected country, as well as listing the major local and international organizations that are already present in the field. The countries are selected according to the level of assistance that they have received from the UAE over the past two decades, and whether they are facing recurrent or ‘chronic’ emergencies.
