The 2018 Goalkeepers Report of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation explores youth population growth in Africa, the Middle East and South Asia, and its impact on world progress. Goalkeepers aims to drive progress towards the Global Goals: using powerful stories, data, and partnerships to highlight progress and draw together a new generation of leaders to address the world’s major challenges. If there is enough investment in the health and education of the youth, it is possible to unlock productivity and innovation, reduce poverty, and boost prosperity. But if this potential is wasted, we shall put at risk the progress made to date in gender equity, health, economic progress and political stability. The report sets the stage for the Foundation’s second Goalkeepers event in New York City on September 26. One can sign up to watch the livestream; and use #Goalkeepers18 to join the conversation on social media networks.
