Wikiprogress is...
- a global platform for sharing, measuring and evaluating social, economic and environmental progress.
- the main area where initiatives are shared, which exist around the world on the measurement of progress, as well as their use for raising awareness amongst stakeholders, informing them on key economic, social and environmental trends and allowing them to discuss relevant issues based on solid evidence and statistics on an interesting and wide range of topics.
- the best place to find answers the following questions:
- who is developing initiatives on measuring progress (well-being, quality of life, freedom, etc.)?
- what type of taxonomy does this initiative use?
- which indicators are being used to measure the different dimensions of progress?
- how are countries (or regions/communities) achieving progress over time and in comparison to other similar territories?
- the focal point where both experts and practitioners share practices on Indicators design, calculation and dissemination, as well as where stakeholders interested in developing initiatives in this field can find reference documents and assistance on how to establish measuring progress initiatives.
Wikiprogress is not:
- a place for lobbying, marketing, selling or imposing ideas,
- only limited to already published materials or to information from academics, governments and other official agencies.
