World Social Capital Monitor - assessing and enhancing social goods for the SDGs

Switzerland

For the first time in history, in order to accelerate the SDGs people can score on eight crucial local social goods by open access and in 46 languages yet.

Scaling

1 - 6 months

$100,000.00

Challenge

According to our studies on achieving and financing the SDGs, they entirely depend on public goods. To providing public goods at the size of $3 trillion per year - that includes stopping Climate Change and as well SDG 10 and SDG 16 - social goods such as trust, solidarity and the willingness to co-finance public goods are hardly needed. Unfortunately these goods are no indicators in the SDGs process.

Description

To assessing these goods for the first time allows to consider and enhance them: just have a look at the surprisingly good results within the World Social Capital Monitor in 15 poor African countries: https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/weltrangliste-zentralafrikanische-republik-besonders.2850.de.html?drn:news_id=98542
