The Félix Houphouët-Boigny Peace Prize is one of the UN’s most prestigious awards, honouring people or organisations for their contribution to peace.
The creation of the Prize provided an opportunity for UNESCO to reaffirm and profile its commitment to peace and dialogue between cultures and civilizations. Nelson Mandela and Frederik W. De Klerk were the first to receive the award in 1991.
An international jury of eminent public figures, recognised for their own roles in promoting peace, appoints the winners of the award.
The current laureate is Abiy Ahmed Ali, Prime Minister of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (2019).
Make sure you read the important information below before you apply for this prize. You must apply through the UK National Commission for UNESCO. Expressions of interest are welcome.
