Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Undisclosed paid
Goalkeepers is an initiative launched by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in 2017[1][2] to bring together leaders from around the world to accelerate progress toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).[3][4] The initiative also provides reports and data flow charts over SDGs progress since 1990.[5][6]
Its core event is the annual Goalkeepers Conference (which usually takes place during Global Goals Week and the UN General Assembly) at which the Changemaker Award is bestowed to 'extraordinary individuals who are driving progress in their communities and countries'. Invitations are issued to global leaders and aspiring personalities who have been personally selected by the board. Previous attendees include Barack Obama, Emmanuel Macron, Amina J. Mohammed, Erna Solberg, Malala Yousafzai, and Trevor Noah.[7] Past award winners have included Yusra Mardini, Amika George, Ria Sharma, and Nadia Murad, who later went on to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
