Her Royal Highness Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein, wife of his Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the UN Messenger of Peace and Chair-Person of the board of Dubai International Humanitarian City said in her opening remarks ‘Despite the rising tide of humanitarian crisis and the financial crisis of 2008, donor funding has continued to set new records – the sources of aid are shifting.’ The countries from the BRICS region (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) are expanding their roles. This diversity of donors demands international collaboration and cultural understanding from different partners as team members.
