  • The Executive Survey General Information and Guidelines
    The Executive Survey General Information and Guidelines Dear Country Expert, In this section, we distinguish between the head of state (HOS) and the head of government (HOG). • The Head of State (HOS) is an individual or collective body that serves as the chief public representative of the country; his or her function could be purely ceremonial. • The Head of Government (HOG) is the chief officer(s) of the executive branch of government; the HOG may also be HOS, in which case the executive survey only pertains to the HOS. • The executive survey applies to the person who effectively holds these positions in practice. • The HOS/HOG pair will always include the effective ruler of the country, even if for a period this is the commander of foreign occupying forces. • The HOS and/or HOG must rule over a significant part of the country’s territory. • The HOS and/or HOG must be a resident of the country — governments in exile are not listed. • By implication, if you are considering a semi-sovereign territory, such as a colony or an annexed territory, the HOS and/or HOG will be a person located in the territory in question, not in the capital of the colonizing/annexing country. • Only HOSs and/or HOGs who stay in power for 100 consecutive days or more will be included in the surveys. • A country may go without a HOG but there will be no period listed with only a HOG and no HOS. • If a HOG also becomes HOS (interim or full), s/he is moved to the HOS list and removed from the HOG list for the duration of their tenure.

  • 2018 Annual Report
    2019 ANNUAL REPORT 1 2 Getting things done From its very beginning in 2018, the core purpose of the Paris Peace Forum has been to get things done, to make progress in addressing global challenges in new, innovative ways. Not that international institutions, declarations and conferences shouldn’t be considered useful. They are. But they are clearly insufficient and, rightly or wrongly, increasingly questioned by some. Hence our specific endeavor: inventing new avenues to global governance based on solutions and on the huge potential of both state and non-state actors to propose and engage. Each edition of the Forum puts a platform at their service with all they need to move forward – feedback on their initiative, partners and allies, visibility, political connections. In global affairs, getting things done is a risky business: we have to accept that reality is the sole measure of our success. Not only do we accept this situation, but this is something that drives the whole philosophy of the Forum. It is particularly true with the ‘SCUP’, our Scale-up Committee, which we established during the first edition of the Forum. It aims to provide support and assess progress for the ten most promising initiatives among those selected for our annual event. We picked key performance indicators and measured what is both their and our success, and where there are still efforts to be made (a detailed report is available online). Getting things done in a measurable way is also the objective of the Forum’s future evolution: its ambition to become an incubator of multi-stakeholder initiatives.
