AMMAN — Global Geneva, a Swiss media outlet specialising in news from the nonprofit and development world, has ranked Generations For Peace (GFP) 32nd in its “Top 500 NGOs in the World” list for 2015, a GFP statement said on Monday.

GFP is the second-highest ranked peace-building organisation on the list and the only Jordanian NGO in the Top 100.

The organisation climbed 62 places in the 2015 ranking, which evaluated NGOs on their innovation, impact and sustainability, the statement said.

“This ranking recognises Generations For Peace’s management, relative size, expansion and impact, and the overall philosophy of the very local anchoring approach,” Jean-Christophe Nothias, editor of the “Top 500 NGOs” list, said.

Commenting on the ranking, HRH Prince Feisal, GFP founder and chairman, said: “This outstanding ranking has been achieved through the extraordinary dedication of our Generations For Peace volunteers, inspiring and leading change through their efforts to promote peace, tolerance and respect in their own communities.”
