Key Features
- MDG Progress Game
MDG Progress Game is an educational game solution on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) developed in partnership by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs and The People's Foundation Ltd, a non-profit organization based in London, UK.
Background:
The World needs workable solutions to our urgent humanitarian, environmental, social and economic challenges. In this context, the MDGs represent commitments by the United Nations' 192 governments to reduce poverty and hunger and to tackle lack of education, gender inequality, child mortality, poor maternal health, disease and environmental degradation.
To achieve these goals, the United Nations has called for a new type of partnership between all stakeholders that sees us all collaborate to make the world a better place. MDG Progress Game represents such a pioneering partnership.
A global partnership solution:
MDG Progress Game is a fun and easy way to learn about the MDGs and their progress over time on a country basis and participate with a global audience in spreading awareness about the MDGs so that an increasing number of people can collaborate and co-create new solutions to our global challenges.
As the first and currently only single and multi-player/multi-computer online educational game on the MDGs that integrates official United Nations statistical data, MDG Progress Game was designed to break new ground and set new creative standards for enabling mass awareness, education and collaboration on the MDGs.
We invite you to play MDG Progress Game and join us in this partnership for Humanity and for our World. It's Your World!
