MDGInfo 2012 is now available online. This database system is designed for the compilation and presentation of development indicators to support data users in their MDG monitoring. The MDG goals and targets are imbedded in the system linked to the MDG indicators in a goal monitoring framework.

MDGInfo has been adapted from DevInfo and presents country-level statistics available as of July 2012 for the global monitoring of progress achieved towards the MDGs since 1990.

The biennial Gender Chart depicts the situation of women and girls in developing regions as reflected in a number of indicators, some of which are also used to monitor the MDGs.

It shows that although there has been some progress in a number of the gender dimensions, more needs to be done, in every country and at every level, to achieve the pivotal third MDG and to reduce persisting levels of inequality based on sex, wealth, location, ethnicity and other markers of disadvantage.

It is being co-produced by the UN Statistics Division and UN Women, with inputs from members of the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on MDGs Indicators.

The Millennium Development Goals Report 2012 was launched in New York by the Secretary-General on 2 July 2012. The report presents the yearly assessment of global progress towards the MDGs, highlighting several milestones – three important MDG targets have been met well ahead of the target date of 2015. The report says that meeting the remaining targets, while challenging, remain possible - but only if Governments do not waiver from their commitments made over a decade ago.

The report is based on a master set of data compiled by the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on MDG indicators led by the Statistics Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs.

The report is available in all UN languages. Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish.
