AIMTEC-BL was established in 2004 with a mission to develop leaders who will address societal divides within the Philippines and across Asia. They provide fellowships and training programs in leading change projects that respond to key issues such as poverty, armed conflict, healthcare access, and quality education. Throughout the years, the Center has capacitated over 4,000 leaders and produced more than 150 fellows who have generated positive change in over 100 communities. 

The Going Beyond Awards 2021 Judges Panel selected the Top Award Nominations based on the following values: 1.) Empowering and enabling people, 2.) Catalyzing inclusive and sustainable development, 3.) Demonstrating contextual relevance, and 4.) International connectivity and collaboration.
