    The Qatar Authority for Charitable Activities (QACA) is to organise a conference for humanitarian organisations in Arab countries on 3-4 March in Doha.



    The resulting recommendations on how Arab countries can improve their humanitarian work will be submitted to the Arab Summit due to be held in Doha in late March.



    More than 100 participants from 53 Arab humanitarian and development organisations, as well as UN, NGO and other representatives, will take part.



    Arab NGOs at the conference will also discuss how to coordinate their work on Gaza reconstruction.
