Education Equity - To harness the potential of young people most at risk of being left behind by enabling equitable access to quality education and learning.Inequality and disadvantage lie at the heart of the global education challenge. Despite global progress in access to education in recent years, more than a quarter of a billion children remain out of school today. Hundreds of millions more are not learning when they are in school. Quality education and learning is the pathway to building the skills and knowledge people need to seize opportunities to enhance their lives and their contribution to communities and societies. This means more children participate in education, are enabled to stay and thrive in school longer to gain a higher level of qualification and skills and can succeed and prosper throughout their lives.BHP Foundation's approach to addressing these challenges is to: - Identify new and more effective ways to improve learning outcomes for the most underrepresented and

Natural Resource Governance - To harness the transformative power of natural resource wealth for sustainable and inclusive human development.Across the world, 1.8 billion people in resource-rich countries continue to live in poverty.

We are working across the value chain to enhance governance, help eliminate corruption and effect positive change. We seek to improve how natural resources are governed across the entire resource value chain from initial exploration right through to the use of taxes and royalties in providing services to citizens.To do this, we bring together business, government and civil society to collectively address common challenges aimed at eliminating corruption through purposeful transparency and effective capacity building. We're also gi
