The Fleet Forum Day will be opened by the Kenyan Minister of Transport Hon. Chirau Ali Mwakwere.
The Humanitarian Development Summit will be holding a special vehicle exhibition and a series of meetings-based and social events throughout the three days, giving enormous opportunity for international companies to develop business in this important strategic market.

These sessions will feature contributions from IAWG member organisations such as World Vision, Catholic Relief Services, UNHCR, OCHA, UNAIDS and CARE, as well as contributions from the International Peace Operations Association (IPOA), UN Office for Project Services (UNOPS) and the African Command Office of the US Department of Defence (AFRICOM).
