Publications

CID carries out surveys with its member agencies, prepares submissions, policies and occassional papers. This provides the basis for CID’s advocacy programme. Recent publications and campaigns include:

Experience Earth: Millennium Development Goals 2015

Brand new resource about the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), targeted at secondary school teachers and young people aged 13-18. This resource was produced by CID and the Global Education Centre.

This resource will help raise students' awareness of global problems, and how governments have pledged to solve them. It will introduce students to the MDGs (eight global targets that if achieved, will halve poverty by 2015), as well as agencies and individuals working to achieve them. It has a unique focus on the role of Aotearoa New Zealand in achieving the MDGs and introduces students to the United Nations Stand Up campaign.

The resource kit contains:

• case studies of international aid and development programmes from Aotearoa New Zealand
• a colourful poster
• practical classroom activities
• references, to help direct students when they want to find out more
• a young person's guide to joining the Stand Up, Take Action campaign.

For more information on the Stand Up campaign or the resource kit contact CID Campaigns, email intern Edmund Barker on campaigns@cid.org.nz
