EAHS Nairobi – the ONLY annual events of their kind, in Africa for Africa, for BUYERS and SUPPLIERS of Humanitarian and Development Aid
Bringing together the latest news and features with an effective events program, we strive to help children, families, and communities throughout Africa, as the continent progresses towards economic, social and environmental sustainability.
As Africa’s longest established and premier humanitarian conference provider, we organize and host a series of existing programs incorporating International Governments and the Aid & Development Community throughout the region. All “programs” are built on the simple principle of attracting the global business and financial community to invest and partner with the concerned authority. The success of these programs is based on experience and performance:
- Personal contact with business leaders, investors and the chief executives of the world’s leading multinationals
- High-level political relations with ministers, UN Officials and government agencies, development banks, national and international NGOs, civil societies, research institutes officials across the Middle East and Africa
- Considerable experience in organizing regular humanitarian, meetings-based summits around the world

Our Events model was created to provide business exhibitions that transcend the boundaries of the traditional conference model, focusing on personal interaction and forging business ties within emerging markets for the development of core infrastructure and the promotion of trade and investment
Our Humanitarian conferences serve as a platform for personal interaction and cross-sector engagement and collaboration between senior representatives from UN and government agencies, development banks, National and International NGOs, civil societies, research institutes, the private sector and media.
Utilizing a unique format that combines informed content with the opportunity for private consultation with senior decision-makers, the company has forged close ties with international governments, leading public bodies, multilateral institutions, non-governmental organizations and the global business community to provide a wide range of partnership, procurement and business opportunities for companies keen to work at the highest level.
As pioneers of the matchmaking format, EAHS has developed a unique Procurement / Partnership Zone designed to offer you private face-to-face matchmaking meetings with Heads of Procurement and Partnership Specialists From Leading UN Agencies, NGOs And INGOs in attendance to source goods & services and learn more about your innovations.
“Procurement is simply a reality of nearly every UN activity: every global goal, every mission, every operation. Without the provision of goods and services, attempts to address the world’s problems would be impossible”
Grete Faremo – Under-Secretary-General and UNOPS Executive Director
Our conferences provide the ideal platform for UN Agencies, Local, Regional & International NGOs, Government heads, International Development Banks, Academia, and International Associations, the public and private sectors to meet, share insights & experiences, formulate strategy, facilitate development, drive innovation, augment investment and promote private sector participation in the context of aid effectiveness with a view to achieving lasting and sustainable development.
I want to thank the EAHS team for this very nice opportunity, a very good platform where we were impressed by the quality of people that we have me today and the engagement of everyone. It is a fantastic platform.

It has been a privilege to attend this important East African Humanitarian Summit. This humanitarian summit is very informative, with the panels which are very high in terms of knowledge and in terms of participants. A good opportunity …to interact with those private and public and even organizations…I want to thank the organizers. The summit was very successful. I would hope as South Sudan government to participate in this kind of summit in the long run.

This is my first time at EAHS and I have to tell everybody, it was brilliant. For those of you who haven’t attended before, I highly recommend it. The conference is fantastic, from the setup to the ability to have one-on-one (meetings) with the various humanitarian agencies, fantastic. It is truly one of the best conferences I’ve attended in the 30 years that I’ve been here in Africa.

…This conference has made good strides in closing that gap and improving the collaboration between the private and public sector. There’s very senior and important decision makers in varying organizations and I think it’s been great. There’s been so much dedicated to general networking…having these conversations in a more casual setting is so key, so I think that’s been a great aspect of the conference.

I’ve been here for the past two days. Both days have been engaging and exciting. Many partners are here to showcase their products.
We’ve had very engaging panel discussions on communications, on partnership, on humanitarian response. This is a forum that I would want to or my organization would want to continue to engage with. I think kudos to the organizers and those that participated.

The gathering, the participants, meeting all those participants was really wonderful. Lot of companies, vendors who were present here, they were very much interested to do business with the United Nations system, and it was great opportunity to…do more business with the United Nations system…a win-win situation because that brings more effectiveness in procurement. Panelists were well-chosen, they were well-educated, knowledgeable and their contribution and active comments and participation in the discussion was providing a good insight on the particular topic. There were huge number present here. It was a very big successful summit, I can say. I really thank to the organizers, especially to Mr. Cameron who has managed to organize this summit here and who has successfully able to invite all these people across the world.

It is a great pleasure and honor to be part of this EAHS Summit. It’s a great initiative and great platform…I have (had) a very positive outcome. Lots of new contacts and lots of new opportunities. It’s not only humanitarian sector but it’s also… suppliers who assist (us) for swift and fast delivery to procure items at better than market price. I would encourage every organization to be part of the conference in the coming years. Thank you very much and I appreciate the organizers and all the participants. I haven’t heard such conferences in Africa where such vast numbers of UN different family bodies are present under one roof and are speaking basically. So, it’s a great opportunity. Thank you very much.
