The
global humanitarian and aid hub
International Humanitarian City (IHC) is
a global humanitarian and aid hub, which aims to facilitate
aid and development efforts by providing local and international
humanitarian actors with facilities and services specifically
designed to meet their needs.
An independent free zone authority created
by the Government of Dubai1 ,
IHC consolidates Dubai as an essential link in the humanitarian
value chain. Leveraging the proven Dubai free zone model,
IHC addresses the specific needs of the humanitarian aid and
development community, while grouping them in a secure environment
that fosters partnerships, social responsibility and global
change.
At the same time, IHC offers commercial companies
the opportunity to operate from a highly strategic location
in a free zone environment that is adapted to their particular
industry, while benefiting from attractive incentives and
an array of value-added services.
IHC believes that humanitarian operations
will benefit from the integration of commercial suppliers
of goods and services. By co-locating, nonprofit and commercial
entities will be encouraged to share best practices to increase
their operational efficiencies and improve institutional learning. |
