WANGO
Awards |

WANGO’s Awards program honors non-governmental organizations from
throughout the world that demonstrate extraordinary effort, innovation,
leadership, and excellence in providing service to humanity. WANGO not only
recognizes prominent international NGOs, but also the smaller, lesser-known
NGOs in the least developed countries, whose exemplary service and success may
have gone unnoticed and unappreciated on the international stage.
In addition to recognition of NGOs, WANGO also honors outstanding individuals
whose work involves them with the non-governmental community. The Universal
Peace Award is WANGO’s highest award to individuals, and is presented
annually to an individual who contributes substantially to world peace and
global well-being.
The WANGO Awards are presented each year at the time of the WANGO Annual
Conference.

Friends of the United Nations, serves as chair of the Awards Selection
Committee.
