African Development Bank President Akinwumi Adesina, who won the 2019 Sunhak Peace Prize Laureate, donates the prize money to the hungry people in Africa. Adesina and co-Laureate Waris Dirie, a global champion against Female Genital Mutilation, shared the prestigious $1million dollar prize at an award ceremony held on 9 February 2019 in Seoul, South Korea. While progress is being made, we are not winning the war on global hunger. “Female Genital Mutilation scars victims physically, emotionally, and mentally,” Dirie said. Each year, the SunHak Peace Prize honors an individual or organization making significant contributions to global peace and the welfare of mankind.
