UN Millennium Development Goals e-learning materials

Millennium Development Goal Activities

The activities below are related to topics covered in the 'Guide to UN Millennium Development Indicatorsl' section of these e-learning materials. They require that you are able to use your computer to multitask, i.e. have several software applications and web pages open at a time and work between them. Each activity is also available as an e-tutorial.

• Access the MDG data using UN website (Open Access): In this activity you will access the UN's Millennium Development Indicators database and download data and metadata for Sub-Saharan Africa from two MDG Indicators 1.8: Children under 5 moderately or severely underweight and MDG Indicator 1.9: Population undernourished, percentage.
• Create a visualisation showing progress toward the MDGs: In this activity you will show progress towards the MDGs using the UN MDG Monitor interactive map.
• Learn how to find the data source of a particular indicator: Data has very little value unless you understand the source of that data - in this activity you will select an MDG indicator and establish its data source.
