| The Global Project on "Measuring the Progress of Societies" seeks to become the world wide reference point for those who wish to measure and assess the progress of their societies. |
|
The Global Project is hosted by the OECD and run in collaboration with other international and regional Partners. A representative from each Partner organisation sits on the Global Project Board. The Board has two Co-Chairs: the Chief Statistician of the OECD (ex-officio) and another member of the Global Project Board, elected every two years. The two co-chairs are currently Mr. Enrico Giovannini (OECD) and Mr. Pedro Conceicao (UNDP). You can read more about the structure of the Global Project here.
Organisations can become involved with the Global Project in a variety of ways. In addition to the Partners, the other affiliates are Associates, Sponsors, Technical Advisors and Correspondents. The Global Project works closely with these organisations on planning events, training courses, a work programme, research projects and more.
Partners
Major International/supranational Organisations that play a key role in the overall Global Project, investing substantial resources – financial or in-kind – over several years and assuming responsibility for the management of the Global Project and/or for specific tasks.
Associates
Public and private, national and international organisations that are contributing to specific activities of the Global Project as well as helping to implement the actions envisaged by the Istanbul Declaration. Each Associate collaborates, over a time bound period, on specific activities. Read more about becoming an Associate.
Sponsors
Sponsors are organisations which provide financial or in-kind resources for the overall Global Project, or who sponsor specific tasks or events.
Technical Advisors
Technical advisors have an official seat on the Global Project board. They are drawn to represent certain professional communities or sectors and have an advisory role to the Board.
Correspondents
The role of Correspondents is to be the focal point of the Global Project's growing "network of networks".
This network will ensure that the rest of the large and growing global movement can learn from common initiatives. Correspondents will undertake to assist others in the same country or region to learn, share and achieve common goals. Read more about becoming a Correspondent.
