The International Development Goals "set targets for reductions in poverty, improvements in health and education, and protection of the environment." These goals have been adopted by the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the UN, and numerous other agencies. At this site, visitors can learn more about specific goals and view data for both regions and specific countries. At present, there are 207 country tables which present timeseries data for four of the last ten years. These are accessed via a pull-down menu in the data section, along with goal tables by region and maps. Charts accessed through the pull-down menu include definitions for each indicator. Summaries of progress towards each of the goals and regional overviews are also available at the bottom of the data page.
