Structure: Fondation Ostad Elahi - éthique et solidarité humaine

The Ostad Elahi Foundation: Ethics and Human Solidarity, is a French government-sanctioned Public Interest Foundation created in 2000, in Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (ECOSOC). The Council of Europe and Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne University are members of its Board of Directors. Dr. Bahram Elahi, Professor Emeritus in Pediatric Surgery, is its President and Founder. The Foundation’s mission is to contribute to the development of true solidarity among human beings by promoting deeper reflection on the meaning and application of ethics. The Foundation’s activities advance three related objectives: the research, instruction and propagation of ethics. The Foundation’s specificity lies in its secular and intercultural approach, which is intended to generate the conditions for ethical advancement in different contexts (workplace, education, etc.) not through the imposition of norms or rules, but rather through the collective sharing of practical experiences. The Foundation thus aims to cultivate a universally shared body of knowledge on ethics by addressing every one of us. For Ostad Elahi (1895-1974), Iranian philosopher and magistrate, only an ethics devoid of all self-interest, that can be actively cultivated within oneself, can contribute to ennobling the human mind and allowing for the emergence of a true solidarity among humankind that benefits both the individual and the society at large.
Through its diverse programs (conferences, seminars, discussion groups, educational modules, research grants, publications, internet sites, etc.), the Foundation seeks to raise awareness of and sensitize the public to the interaction of ethics and the realms of human activity, soliciting experts and scholars in so doing from a range of disciplines including medicine, education, philosophy, psychology, sociology, history, and religion. In addition, the Foundation initiates collaborative enterprises with public, national, and international institutions and organizations, such as UNESCO, the Paris School for Political Sciences, CNAM, etc.

In 1998, Mr Anada Tiéga became Senior Advisor for Africa for the Ramsar Convention Secretariat,  which allowed him to build productive relationships in the Africa region, and  to learn thoroughly the workings of the Convention at the global level. 
Between 2003 and 2007, he was the Project Manager for a Lake Chad Basin GEF project,  a position in which he collaborated closely with the Lake Chad Basin Commission, the World Bank, the UNDP, the UN Office of Project Services, and the regional governments.

The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance provides the framework for national action and international cooperation for the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources.  Wetlands play a central role in the provision of natural resources; they are cradles of biodiversity, providing the water and primary productivity upon which countless species of plants and animals depend for survival. To carry out the mission of the Convention, Mr Anada’s  actions aim mainly at widening the “Ramsar Community”, while stressing the value of wetlands for sustainable development.   Mr Anada endeavours to strengthen the role of the Ramsar Convention at the level of international institutions, governments, parliaments and local authorities, as well as through private sector activities.
