"We believe that the lives of the poor will improve more in the next 15 years than at any time in history. And it's because of innovations in things like health, such as vaccines, innovations in farming, things like seeds getting out there more that are drought-resistant for instance. Digital banking, that is really become ubiquitous in the developing world. And also education, digital tools in the education sector. All four of those sectors, we're seeing incredible innovations. Really changing the lives of the poor fundamentally."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Bill Gates, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation:
"Given the success of the millennium development goals, a lot of people are saying ok, let's make sure we have an even bigger tent this year. And so the sustainable goals development document will be quite a bit longer. The NBGs were quite succinct. And that's great. Financial services will be in there. A lot of sanitation will be in there. Educational quality, as opposed to pure access, will be talked about more. And I think it's wonderful to have the world thinking about this report card. We hope in September we get the rich countries to step back and say ok, what's their part in this. And even individuals we call in this letter for people to sign up as global citizens so that we have their voice. They're connecting some piece of this.
