Development action with informed and engaged societies
The Communication Initiative
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at cila.comminitcila.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

MDG Monitor

0 comments

The MDG Monitor shows how countries are progressing in their efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). With the 2015 target date approaching, this tool aims to demonstrate whether the goals are on track, and where additional efforts and support are needed, both globally and at the country level.

The MDG Monitor is designed as a tool for policymakers, development practitioners, journalists, students, and others to:

  • Track progress through interactive maps and country-specific profiles. The interactive map shows locations that correspond to a variety of statistical data related to the MDGs. For example, MDG-related information about economic poverty may be selected. Data on a legend and corresponding colour-coded locations on the map will appear with dates of the resource data used to supply the indicators. Country-specific profiles are augmented by yearly reports on indigenous issues prepared by the United Nations Permanent Forum.
  • Learn about countries' challenges and achievements and get the most recent news.  RSS-based ("Really Simple Syndication" or "Rich Site Summary") news feeds place recent news under the headings of each MDG.
  • The "Support organisations" section lists UN and other organisations working on the MDGs around the world.
