The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) have made a huge impact on the lives of billions, but there is still much more to be done to address extreme poverty, diseases and environmental crises thus, the global development agenda for the period after 2015 will build on the progress made on the MDGs while confronting persistent inequalities and new challenges facing people and planet. The new development agenda must result from a truly open and inclusive process that engages people from all parts of the world and all sections of society.
MY World is an options survey asking individuals which six of sixteen possible issues they think would make the most difference to their lives. These issues are Better job opportunities, Support for people who can´t work, A good education, Better healthcare, Affordable and nutritious food, Phone and internet access, Better transport and roads, Access to clean water and sanitation, Reliable energy at home, Action taken on climate change, Protecting forests, rivers and oceans, Equality between men and women, Protection against crime and violence, Political freedom, An honest and responsive government and Freedom from discrimination and persecution
The issues cover the existing MDGs, plus issues of sustainability, security, governance and transparency. The results of MY World will be delivered to members of the High-level Panel, who will submit their recommendations to the Secretary-General in May 2013. From now until 2015, MY WORLD want many people in as many countries as possible to be involved: citizens of all ages, genders and backgrounds, particularly the world’s poor and marginalized communities.
