The Kofi Annan Foundation is often asked to intervene in crises as an impartial independent advocate, facilitator or mediator. In recent years we have provided such counsel to Burkina Faso, Colombia, Iraq, Kenya, Myanmar, and Senegal, among other countries. The Foundation provides policy support based on thematic and country monitoring and analysis, aided by an informal network of national leaders, multilateral organisations, business leaders, international NGOs, and civil society activists, including women’s groups and faith organisations.
