Our Mission

To galvanize public support for the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. To publicize the goals themselves, and the efforts of those working to achieve them, we intend to:

• generate public support for those that that are making the most effort
• rally those who are falling behind
• highlight exemplars in the corporate community to promote the message that corporations can “do well by doing good”

The UN MDG Awards will be underpinned each year by a roundtable forum hosted by ‘Humanitad’. The 2008 forum will be ‘hard-wired’ to the world wide web as an interactive platform between people of the world and luminaries hosting a roundtable dialogue in the EcoSoc chamber of the UN, with a special sitting of the World Summit for Nobel Peace Laureates in Stavangar, Norway. The twinned locations will co-host a three hour special-session on the UN MDG. Participants will include Nobel Laureates, Spiritual leaders, Heads-of-State, Civic Leaders and Literary luminaries – some in person and others through virutal connectivity. On an annual basis, further participation will grow to include schools, universities, NGOs and ministries who will be invited in via the web-interaction to discuss the Millennium Development Goals along with the critical issues facing humanity and our planet.
