These groups are navigating a shifting landscape of international aid, prompting a strategic reassessment of their funding models. Discussions centered on the necessity of adapting to these global changes, which impact their ability to tackle widespread issues such as disease, malnutrition, and poverty.
A key strategy emerging from these discussions involves the exploration of new donor countries.

These alliances are seen as vital for addressing complex global challenges that require coordinated and multifaceted approaches.
The current environment, characterized by global foreign aid cuts, necessitates innovative approaches to fundraising and operational sustainability. The gatherings provided a platform for stakeholders to share insights and develop strategies for ensuring continued support for vital humanitarian work worldwide.
