The meeting reviewed the Foundation's key achievements in 2025 and discussed its strategic directions for 2026.

In addition, the Board highlighted the need to enhance governance, strengthen integration and coordination among the entities, and improve institutional performance efficiency. These efforts are intended to ensure the optimal use of resources, maximise humanitarian impact, and place people and families at the heart of all humanitarian and development work.
