FPCD RELEASES 2010 ANNUAL REPORT New York, NY – August 30 2011 -The Foundation for Post Conflict Development haspublished its 2010 Annual Report, highlighting the life-changing impact of the FPCD in
helping achieve the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. Among the Foundation’s
top advancements have been in improving child and maternal health, environmental
sustainability, gender equality, and youth empowerment.
Close alliances with the Principality of Monaco, the African Union, record-breaking athleteSophie Denis, and others have contributed to the success of the Foundation’s work in 2010.

leader and global citizen that we hope not only the children in our care, but all children
globally, will aspire to.”
