Millennium Development Goals tracker

This link tracks how and where the world is succeeding or failing in meeting the MDG goals, particularly those on ending poverty. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said that the site would, for the first time, present all the information on the goals in one place, allowing closer monitoring and helping identify places in need of greater attention. The site gathers statistics from around the world to give a snapshot of how each country is doing in meeting the eight goals, from cutting infant mortality to reducing hunger.
