Why Language Matters for the Millennium Development Goals
“Language is the key to inclusion. Language is at the center of human activity, self-expression and identity. Recognizing the primary importance that people place on their own language fosters the kind of true participation in development that achieves lasting results." UNESCO Bangkok 2012
Why Language Matters for the Millennium Development Goals (Brochure)
UNESCO-Bangkok and LEAD Asia (SIL) produced an abbreviated version (6 pages) of the above. “It is increasingly being recognized that progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) is not happening equitably. Many of the low-income communities in which more progress is needed live in complex language situations. Choosing the best language in which to engage with these marginalized communities is key to achieving the remaining MDGs."
