Council on Foreign Relations Introduces the Global Governance Monitor

August 12th, 2010

The Council on Foreign Relations recently released a new feature called the Global Governence Monitor on their website that tracks and evaluates multilateral efforts for the world’s most pressing challenges.

There is a specific public health section and if you look closely within the Matrix you will see that the Global Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases is listed!

Here is a little more information about the Global Governance Monitor:

“The Global Governance Monitor is a tool that shows how the international community is doing in addressing the most daunting threats that it faces. For each issue area, the monitor provides:

  • a cinematic overview of the challenge, which explains why international cooperation is needed;
  • an interactive timeline that traces the world’s efforts to craft collective responses to the challenge;
  • an issue brief that evaluates the overall performance of the regime and suggests potential reforms to improve international cooperation;
  • a matrix that catalogs relevant international treaties, organizations, and initiatives;
  • an interactive map that details critical countries and groups; and
  • a resource guide for further information on the topic.”
