Did you know?

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted as a call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure peace and prosperity for all by 2030. Only a few years remain to achieve the SDGs, yet progress and funding are stalling: the current annual SDG funding gap is at least USD 4.3trn3. This shortfall is greatest in low income countries, where these resources are needed the most, with USD1.6trn more needed annually in Africa alone. More philanthropic capital mobilized can help fill the critical funding gap.
