I think AIDF summit is a very good summit and has brought together very different stakeholders across government, UN agencies, private sector & NGO’s into one platform to discuss the frontier developments in addressing disaster reduction and other sustainable development agendas...’’ Dr. Shamika Sirimanne, Director of Information and Communications Technology and Disaster Risk Reduction Division, UN ESCAP
AIDF summit provides a very useful forum for people to come together and discuss the burning issues facing food security in the world and to meet like-minded individuals who are trying to address these issues within the powers that they have. It gives us an opportunity to combine our forces and collectively affect change. I think it’s an excellent forum and I’m happy to be a part of it.” Amit Wadhwa, UN World Food Programme (WFP) Indonesia

This year’s summit was an excellent networking and learning opportunity for us. The speakers were informative and engaging. There was a wide range of practitioners and officials which provided a very well rounded summit with players from government, aid organizations and the private sector. We have made contacts that should prove most valuable to us in the coming months.’’
I think it is a very interesting forum where academia, government representatives, private sector, international organisations and the development community gather to have a dialog and present different perspectives, because when different perspectives come together everybody learns and improves. So I think it is a great platform.’’
