The mission of the MDG Awards Committee is three fold:
To focus a global spotlight on the efforts being made to achieve the MDGs by individuals, governments and civil society and to recognize outstanding achievements in those efforts.
To spur the global community and governments to work to achieve the goals through educational programs and partnership events.
To raise the visibility of worthy local projects that despite their hard works and success are not receiving the visibility to which they are entitled and to support these projects with funding raised with the help of our underwriters, members and donors.
