The Reach Alliance

A Message From
The Reach Alliance

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, global poverty and inequality are on the rise. Given these challenges, it would be easy to say that we don’t have what it takes to reach the Sustainable Development Goals. 

But what this last year has shown us is that the imperative to reach hard-to-reach populations has never been greater. Now more than ever, we see the opportunity for audacious leadership. The Reach Alliance is determined to be part of the solution. 

This year’s symposium is more important than ever.  The imperatives of equity and inclusion, illuminated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement, illustrate the necessity of forging new partnerships across sectors, and doubling down to reach the hardest to reach populations. We are bringing together leading thinkers and practitioners from around the world to collectively strengthen our resolve to reach those that are hardest to reach. And to walk away with a clear action plan on how we’re going to do that.

At the Reach Alliance, we advance a culture of leadership that is bold, empathetic, humble, shared, transparent, inclusive and transformational, thereby enabling our collective aspirations.

Reach recruits top students — equipping the next generation of leaders — to produce actionable insights and catalyzes impact through our institutional partners. As the Reach Alliance scales to six select universities around the world, we’re looking forward to sharing our latest actionable insights with you, and to engaging in these important conversations about how to accelerate achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
