1000 days to the MDGs: Data Dashboards to Monitor the last Stretch
According to an article published on the World Bank Data blog, data on Millennium Development Goals (MDG) indicator trends for developing countries and for different groups of countries are curated in the World Development Indicator (WDI) database. Each year the World Bank uses these data in the Global Monitoring Report (GMR) to track progress on the MDGs.
Many colleagues as well as non-Bank staff approach us on a weekly basis with questions regarding where their region or country or sector stands with regard to attainment of the core MDGs. And often in the same breath, whether or when we expect that this or that country or region will meet a particular MDG.
With less than 1,000 days remaining to the MDG countdown, work on the Post-2015 agenda in full swing and growing demand for additional info about GMR analytics and the underlying data, we developed a suite of open and interactive data diagnostics dashboards available at: http://data.worldbank.org/mdgs.
Click here to view an extract which summarizes the progress status towards meeting various MDGs among countries in various regions, income and other groups. Select different indicators and highlight categories of progress status to interact with the visualization.
