Our Influencers – Women Deliver

Deliver for Good, a global campaign that applies a gender lens to global development, announces five campaign influencers: Dr. Alaa Murabit, UN High-Level Commissioner on Health Employment & Economic Growth and UN SDG advocate; José Alberto "Pepe" Mujica Cordano, the former President of Uruguay; Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess Mary of DenmarkSophie Grégoire Trudeau, a gender equality advocate and the wife of Canadian Prime Minster Justin Trudeau; and Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, the UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of UN Women.

The primary goal of the Deliver for Good campaign is to promote political, programmatic, and financial investments in girls and women across 12 critical issue areas, from education and sexual health and rights to climate change and access to resources. Deliver for Good Influencers will support the campaign by calling for these investments and engaging multi-sector allies to redefine the narrative around girls and women as agents of change and critical drivers of progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the global and country levels.

By focusing on girls and women as complete individuals – addressing their diverse needs across health, education, economic rights, and more – Deliver for Good takes an integrated approach to fueling solutions that will transform the lives of girls and women and yield benefits for families, economies, and nations.
