The Kofi Annan Business School Foundation provides talented and motivated students from developing areas, who lack sufficient financial means, with the opportunity to study at and obtain a diploma from one of the associated business schools in Europe. These students, who are named KABS fellows, return to their home country with a wide range of extra knowledge and entrepreneurial capacities. This project is a direct implementation of the UN Millennium Development Goals project.
This NCDC project aims to reduce the school drop-out of girls in the Ilam District in Nepal. Due to social, economic and cultural factors girls have very little chances to complete higher education, even if they did complete basic education. Moreover, the NCDC Girls Scholarship program stimulates cultural changes so that girls and children from ‘untouchable castes’ will be encouraged to go to school.
