Organization Summary: OEF is a nonprofit, nongovernmental organization with a vision of developing effective systems of global governance to achieve a world beyond war, leading to our tagline “Peace Through Governance.” Central to OEF’s mission is partnering closely with the business community.

OEF is structured as a family of semi-autonomous programs each working independently to catalyze systems of collaborative governance around the world through experimental methods. What holds them all together is a common purpose – to provide effective platforms for stakeholders from all sectors of society to enhance their collective impact over the long term.
