Established in 2000, the Doha Forum promotes the interchange of ideas, discourse, policy making, and action oriented recommendations in a world where borders are porous and challenges and solutions are also interlinked.
This year, in its eighteenth edition, the Doha Forum will serve as a platform to discuss the “Shaping Policy in an Interconnected World” and focus on four essential themes: Security, Peace and Mediation, Economic Development, and Trends and Transitions.
The 2018 Doha Forum brings together political figures, thought leaders, governmental agencies, and civic society organisations with the aim of facilitating dialogue about how conscious policymaking can guide us to a global tomorrow. The forum addresses today’s urgent issues and ways the international community can come together to solve them. It also highlights the modern success models and discusses how we can expand on them and replicate them.
