For anyone interested in helping others, here is the latest Gates Notes article with a link to their goalkeepers report. They are really trying to help us in Africa and I believe their good work will bring its own rewards. What COVID-19 means for the world’s poorest By Bill Gates It’s amazing how much can change in twelve months. At this time last year, when Melinda and I released our foundation’s 2019 Goalkeepers report, we told you about a lot of progress on the Sustainable Development Goals. And we expected 2020 to bring even more improvements. Then COVID-19 struck. After 20 years of stunning advances toward global goals to improve health and reduce poverty, the pandemic stopped progress in its tracks. For low- and middle-income countries, COVID-19 has set back economies, health systems, and food systems by several years—and in some cases a decade. In this year’s report, we survey the damage and discuss how to start reversing it. It won’t happen overnight, and it will take a coordinated global effort, but I do believe we can get back on track to meet the Sustainable Development Goals. I hope you’ll take a look. http://www.gatesnotes.com
