Apart from the member states, International Organisations such as the UN, WHO, FAO, IMF, OECD, IlO and World Bank group shall join the conference. These organisations will play a critical role in ensuring that the damages are mitigated and post crisis rehabilitation is controlled and kick-started.

They will be joined by South Africa (Chair of the African Union), United Arab Emirates (Chair of the Gulf Cooperation Council) amongst others.
