  • King Faisal Prize 1979-2018
    1979-2018 4 INTRODUCTION King Faisal International Prize (KFIP) was initiated by the King Faisal Foundation (KFF) inspired by its humanitarian objectives and its commitment to preserve the true Islamic values which King Faisal, may Allah have mercy upon him, stood for. These values and principles, held dearly by the late King Faisal, may Allah rest his soul in peace, are firmly enshrined in the statute of the Prize. Indeed, the KFF established the KFIP as a lofty expression and reflection of late King Faisal’s unstinting support for endeavors slated to alleviate human suffering through the advancement of research and creative human thinking. These are core values which the late King Faisal passionately upheld, besides his respect for knowledge, empathy with scholars, and his appreciative recognition of their contributions to the advancement of nations. He strongly believed that progress of his nation and his countrymen can not be achieved without a resolute acquisition of knowledge that is commensurate with the values and teachings of Islam, as well as an in- depth understanding of human history and a genuine appreciation of the foundations in which the Islamic civilization is grounded, along with the conducive factors that helped this civilization blossom and thrive and positively contribute to universal human civilization. 5 The KFIP is driven by objectives animated by this thorough human perception, emanating from the cradle of the Islamic message, a land to which the hearts of Muslims throughout the world are attached, a land founded on the principles of this message and ruled by its principles. To be sure, these features endow the Prize with a distinct prestige among peer prizes that seek to motivate scientists and thinkers and encourage them to pursue further scientific and intellectual accomplishments that benefit humanity and help foster a better and brighter civilization.

I must report to you that the World Water Council has played a very important role in making this happen. This raised profile for water security has been particularly important, as the last three years have been a pivotal period for international development. In September, an ambitious post-2015 sustainable development agenda was adopted, and in December we anticipate that, for the first time, water is going to be part of the discussions in Paris during COP21. In these global debates, the World Water Council has been highly visible, building on our achievements and opening new paths of collaboration – we have been central to putting water at the heart of global development. Over the last three years with the work of an active Board of Governors prioritizing a number of key issues we have generated greater political attention.
