I want to thank our partners in this effort, including the government of Sweden and the Aga Khan Development Network.
Starting next year, civil society groups will be able to use these centers to network and access knowledge and technology and funding that they need to put their ideas into action.
And we’ll start with six centers in Latin America, in Sub-Saharan Africa, in the Middle East and in Asia. Oppressive governments are sharing “worst practices” to weaken civil society. We’re going to help you share the “best practices” to stay strong and vibrant.
… No matter how dark the hour, we remember those words of Dr. King: “The time is always ripe to do right.” And Dr. King also said: “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.”
The reason we support civil society is because we have seen in this country of ours that it does, in fact, bend toward justice. But it does not do so on its own. It does so because there are hands of ordinary people doing extraordinary things every single day and they pull that arc in the direction of justice.

His Highness has established such socio-economic initiatives even in some of the Scandinavian countries which are already economically sound. And what to talk about His over all contribution in most of the countries. He deserves one dozen Nobel Prizes, but a diamond never talks about its own preciousness. And he cares in the least about such wordly awards.
