Overview
The Aga Khan Foundation was founded in Switzerland by His Highness the Aga Khan in 1967 as a private, international, non-denominational, non-profit development agency. Switzerland is the registered home for the Foundation as well as a number of other agencies of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN).
As such, Switzerland often serves as a hub for the coordination of development programmes across the Aga Khan Foundation and AKDN with international partners. The Geneva head office represents approximately 0.1 percent of AKDN staff globally, with most staff based in the countries in which the Aga Khan Foundation and AKDN operate.
