Dag Hammarskjold Foundation is a "think-and-do-tank" with a focus on effective multilateralism with the UN at the center. The Foundation works in the legacy of the second Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld to advance dialogue and policy for sustainable development and peace. The Foundation works with the UN, its Member States and other key stakeholders required to make the UN's work effective, transparent and accountable.
The main roles of the Foundation are as producer of evidence-based knowledge, facilitatator of key stakeholder dialogues and trainer of multilateral leaders.

Therefore, we work to actively link global policy and implementation through analysis and facilitation, exchange, learning and inclusive dialogue.
