Uppsala, Sweden The Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation Full time

The Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation, (Stiftelsen Dag Hammarskjölds Minnesfond), is a non-governmental organisation established in 1962 in memory of the second Secretary-General of the United Nations. It aims to advance dialogue and policy for sustainable development and peace. The Foundation is not a grant-giving institution, and is autonomous and unaffiliated with any political, religious or ideological groups. Its work is guided by respect for and alignment to the principles outlined in the UN Charter.

The Foundation is governed by a Board of Trustees. The work of the Foundation is carried out by a permanent Secretariat based in Uppsala. The work of the Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation is anchored in its Statutes and guided by a Strategic Framework with three thematic areas to focus its engagement. The Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation is a values-based organisation, and its employees should share its vision and ideals and understand what it means to work in and represent Hammarskjöld’s legacy in an international context. The working language is English. For more information about the Foundation see:

Organisational Setting

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.

We recognise that development action must result in change where it is most needed – at local and country level ­and that it must be driven by local actors with support from multilateral stakeholders. Therefore, we work to actively link global policy and implementation through analysis and facilitation, exchange, learning and inclusive dialogue.

As a small organisation the Foundation strives to balance clarity and predictability of work, with agility, responsiveness and relevance in delivery. All staff have a focus in one project area and should be prepared to support others. The priorities and distribution of tasks and designated human resources are agreed in the Annual Work Programme, approved by the Board of the Foundation.
