The Fourth Riyadh International Humanitarian Forum in Saudi Arabia brings together members of the humanitarian community to address funding and efficiency in aid efforts. The forum focuses on the need for more effective use of funding, as well as the eradication of polio. Saudi Arabia has committed $500 million to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative to provide vaccines to 370 million children and eliminate the disease. The conference also explores partnerships and strategies for future operations, including Gavi's 6.0 Strategy and the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs' efforts in conflict zones. Climate change and its impact on humanitarian crises, such as the re-emergence of diseases, are also discussed.
