Zayed Award for Human Fraternity

The Zayed Award for Human Fraternity is an annual independent global award that recognizes, supports and honors people and entities of all backgrounds working to advance the timeless values of solidarity, integrity, fairness and optimism. The award was established following the historic meeting between Head of the Catholic Church His Holiness Pope Francis and His Eminence the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Ahmed Al-Tayeb in 2019 in Abu Dhabi, during which they co-signed the Document on Human Fraternity under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates. The award is named in honor of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, founder of the United Arab Emirates.
