Retirement
On 4 December 2006, the United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan appointed Chissano the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General to Northern Uganda and Southern Sudan, to resolve the conflict with the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). Chissano worked with the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (then led by Eliane Duthoit), and with the International Criminal Court (ICC). It indicted LRA leader Joseph Kony and four other senior members of the LRA.
Joaquim Chissano is a member of the Fondation Chirac's honour committee, ever since the foundation was launched in 2008 by former French president Jacques Chirac in order to promote world peace.
Joaquim Chissano is an independent non-executive director at Harmony Gold Mining, a South African underground and surface gold mining company.
