The Deliver for Good campaign is built around the premise that girls and women are the drivers of sustainable development and powerful agents of change. Evidence from around the world confirms that investing in girls and women creates a ripple effect that yields multiple benefits – not only for individual women, but for families, communities, and countries. Yet, despite all we know, decision makers have failed to consistently make girls and women a priority. Now, at the dawn of the sustainable development agenda, we have an opportunity to correct this wrong. It is time to prioritize the health, rights, and wellbeing of girls and women. It is time to deliver, and deliver for good!
