“As a gender economist, I often look to people who have developed the capacity to view the world from the 30,000-foot level to ensure that the issues are clearly seen from the advantage of the surrounding territories and potential impacts. Ms Sabine Balve has not only found the broader viewpoint but she has also focused on it and applied that highly developed viewpoint to bear on the issues being dealt with by our global societies – health, education, environment, gender equity, food security and peace. Her most amazing talent is to then bring the world players into the solutions and hold us all accountable.
Sabine Balve is just such a person and one of only a few women that I know that has undertaken such a major role of bringing world leaders together to not just talk about the global issues of our world but to help guide to define actions that individuals, nations, corporations and NGOs can, and must take to solve them. She is a driver of initiatives, ideas and leaders who can and does make significant impacts to social, political and economic stability in our world. I am honoured to be included in her sphere of influence and appreciate her interest in growing gender neutral agendas to be inclusive of all.”
