                 From the Office of:
         The UN MDG Awards Committee
UN Millennium Development Goals Awards


    Introducing the Awards



           On September 12, 2007, Sheikha Haya Al Khalifa (2nd from right); President of the 61st session of the
           General Assembly, along with Amb. Zina Andrianarivelo-Razafy of Madagascar; Amb. Francis Lorenzo
           of the Dominican Republic; and Grammy Awards producer, Nile Rodgers along with the MDG Award
           designer William Ho (far left), joined together at the UN for a press conference to announce plans for a
           United Nations MDGs Awards Festival to be held as an annual focus in the world calendar.

           The objective           To create public understanding of the Millennium Development
                                   Goals and their importance to our global community, and to
                                   galvanize support for their achievement by sharing what has been
                                   accomplished and what needs to be accomplished
           The venue               The most famous stage on earth.....the United Nations General
                                   Assembly Hall in New York City
           The challenge           To remind all peoples and nations - that this is ‘our’ world and
                                   ‘our’ future - and that positive change demands that each of us
                                   feels empowered to become architects of the world in which we
                                   wish to live


                                                                                     www.un-mdgawards.org
UN Millennium Development Goals Awards


        The Mission



           To engage the eyes and ears of the world in a momentous annual event which
           will continue to grow in impact and in global reach - and inspire a planetary
           conversation about the biggest issues facing humankind.

           Our challenge is to encourage the world to engage with the Millennium
           Development Goals and in so doing begin rewarding the real efforts and
           sacrifices of individuals, nations and organizations which have the most impact
           on bettering our world.

           The entertainment event will be twinned with a ‘live’ and interactive consensus
           forum which will act as a catalyst for engaging the world via social-networking
           in an ongoing dialogue surrounding the importance of reaching the Goals target
           date of 2015.

           The MDGs Awards must become the most important awards ceremony on earth.

  The AwardsCeremony



          Filmed for a global international syndicated broadcast at the UN General Assembly
          Hall, the inaugural show will rally the world toward a 7-year countdown on 2015.
          The annual global focus event will act as the planetary catalyst to raising awareness
          about the MDGs. The Show will be attended by UN Missions from all member states,
          celebrities, Goodwill Ambassadors and Messengers of Peace, along with internation-
          al luminaries from all walks of life. A lifetime achievement MDG-Award will be given
          to a global luminary of international standing and renown.

          The red-carpet event will consist of live music entertainment, cultural exposition and
          will engender a positive and highly charged sense of global unity surrounding the
          challenges set out by the Millennium Development Goals. Presenters will formally
          announce the first full Awards date and host-nation. It will also heavily promote
          the global democratic highway across the world wide web via the dedicated portal:
          MDG-NETWORK.COM which will invite worldwide nominations, votes and both
          social and organizational networking around the Millennium Development Goals.


                                                                         www.un-mdgawards.org
UN Millennium Development Goals Awards


  The Global Conversation



           Each year the MDG Awards event will be coupled with a round table forum
           featuring some of the world’s greatest thinkers. The Global Impact Forum will be
           ‘hard-wired’ to the world-wide-web as an interactive platform for engendering a
           consensual highway of democracy amongst people of the world. The
           MDG-NETWORK.COM is launching as the world’s portal for this challenge.

           The Global Impact Forum will concentrate and focus expressly on the
           Millennium Development Goals - our greatest planetary initiative.

           Participants will include Nobel Laureates, UN leaders, Heads-of-State and
           celebrated luminaries - some in person and others through virtual connectivity.

           On an annual basis, further participation will grow to include schools,
           universities, NGOs and ministries - all invited in via the web-interaction to
           discuss the critical issues facing humanity and our planet and focus on solutions.


                                                                        www.un-mdgawards.org

 The Democratic Highway



           Introducing a universal networking portal MDG NETWORK.COM. This engine
           plans to open up a ‘global democratic highway’ on the world-wide-web, linking
           the consensual voice of humanity committed to meeting the Millennium
           Development Goals and bringing about a better world for all.

           As a unique interactive networking platform it will unite people and organiza-
           tions of the world from all nations - through a unique web environment. The
           unified platform will evolve as an open-source repository of knowledge, wisdom
           and solutions and is intended as an oracle for people of the world.

           It is currently under first-phase development and will launch in September 2008.

           We look forward to further developing this portal with our growing family of
           partner NGOs and corporate alliances from year to year.
