Bio from UN advocate sdgs
Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser has played an active role in spearheading social and education reforms in Qatar and around the world for many years through her national and international development initiatives in education and youth development.
Internationally, Sheikha Moza works with the United Nations to support global education and other key areas of development for marginalized children and youth. Since 2016, Sheikha Moza has been an Advocate for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and was previously a member of the UN Millennium Development Goals Advocacy Group with a special emphasis on Goal 2 – universal primary education.

Sheikha Moza serves as a UNESCO Special Envoy for Basic and Higher Education, through which she launched multiple projects including the International Fund for Higher Education in Iraq.

In 2012, Sheikha Moza launched Education Above All (EAA) to deliver quality education to the hardest to reach children and generate a global movement, with a particular focus on areas affected by poverty, conflict and disaster. In 2018, EAA’s Educate A Child program secured commitments to educate 10 million marginalized children.
In 2008, Sheikha Moza founded Silatech to address the challenge of youth unemployment in the Middle East and North Africa region and beyond. Silatech aims to help youth in the most challenging environments and circumstances take control of their lives and their future, and lead change in the region. Through economic and social empowerment, Silatech creates meaningful employment opportunities and programs in enterprise development, career training, and microfinancing, among many others.
