The OEF Vision

OEF's vision is a world beyond war, achieved by the development of new and effective systems of cooperation, coordination, and decision making, i.e. "governance".

We believe that nation states cannot solve global conflicts on their own. We have witnessed this limitation in issues such as maritime piracy, state failure, and outbreaks of mass atrocities. OEF believes that business and civil society have an important role to play in filling governance gaps, in partnership with nation states. When these three sectors partner together, they can achieve effective, equitable solutions to global problems that can prevent war.
