Building on Kofi Annan’s legacy for peace by advancing democracy, youth leadership and international cooperation.
Info
Building on Kofi Annan's legacy for peace by advancing democracy, youth leadership and international cooperation. The Kofi Annan Foundation is an independent not-for-profit organisation established in Geneva, Switzerland, in 2007 by former UN Secretary-General and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, the late Kofi Annan. Our board is composed of prominent personalities from the public and private sectors around the world. We work to build a fairer and more peaceful world where no one is left behind, democratic principles and the rule of law are upheld, and divides are bridged through dialogue and international cooperation. Our work is underpinned by the same courage, integrity and creativity that characterised Kofi Annan's efforts to resolve even the most intractable global challenges. Inclusion, diversity and sustainability are at the heart of everything we do.

#PoliticalLeadership | There is a shortage of political leaders who can - and will - think beyond the immediate political cycle and find compromise for the common good. We are thrilled to partner with Apolitical Foundation, Geneva Centre for Security Policy and NEXUSVESTING SARL on the Leadership Excellence in Politics Initiative (LEiP) to identify the specific skills, mindsets, and approaches that make an effective 21st-century politician. 📢 Today marks the latest milestone in our initiative: the introduction of the LEiP Expert Council. Designed to strengthen political leadership worldwide, the Expert Council brings together world-leading academics, politicians, and thought leaders to identify the cross-cutting leadership competencies needed to respond to our greatest challenges. Over the coming weeks, alongside our partners, we will introduce you to the council members and how they will help shape the future of political leadership!
