Progress on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are eight international development goals that all 192 United Nations member states and at least 23 international organizations have agreed to achieve by the year 2015. It is the most widely accepted guideline we have for measuring impact. You can find more information about UN's vision for the MDGs here.
At Jolkona, we use the MDGs to provide context around the impact that the Jolkona community is having around the world. It provides another angle to see how every gift our donors make and our partners implement contributes to a bigger global effort to tackle some of humanity's biggest problems.
