It's Blog Action Day Against Poverty
UN Dispatch is one of thousands of blogs around the world participating in Blog Action Day 2008. The theme this year is poverty, so we thought to highlight this quiz on the Millennium Development Goals created by the Better World Campaign. Take the quiz to test your knowledge of global poverty. And on October 17 show your solidarity with global citizens around the world to Take a Stand Against Poverty.
and continuing on the theme of the day, a video called The Girl Effect.
If you are still skeptical about the connection between investing in girls and the social and economic development of poor countries read the report Girls Count from the Center on Global Development.
