Monitoring+the+Goals

We will be trying to monitor certain countries of the world to see how certain areas are meeting some of the Milennium development goals. If some places are not meeting them we need to ask why not. We will also be looking at whether any patterns or correlations tend to occur in relation to certain INDICATORS OF DEVELOPMENT and how we might explain them.


 * Task 1.- Collecting the Information.**

[] || This is an excellent resource. It shows both data in mapform which gives you a great idea of what patterns there are in the world, but if you roll over each country with the mouse it gives you the specific statistical information about that country.

Note if you click on the country it brings up all the relevant information that you need to fill in the table below.

a) a report on your specific country chosen from the above - it will look at sections where it is on target and areas in which it can improve. b) You will need to research what the UN is doing in the country or recommends should be done. If you cannot find this then you have to give your own recommendations. b) You will be choosing one of the above MDG's and create a screen capture of the two particular things in that section and devise an annotated description of each map to describe patterns.
 * Task 2: You will be working in Pairs to produce**
