SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MeLLmo Inc., the developer of Roambi, an innovative mobile app that allows on-the-go business professionals to stay connected to critical company information, today announced the availability of its new Roambi-powered World Bank Data Mobile App. With this app, individuals can now explore complex World Bank data and track the progress of four of U.N. Millennium Development Goals via an intuitive, dashboard-style analytic tool, instantly delivered to any iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.
The World Bank Open Data Initiative has made available to the public numerous data sets that span global economic, environmental, health and educational development indicators. These data sets are accessible and open to all for browsing, research, and education. The World Bank Data Mobile App (powered by Roambi) transforms previously complex data into an easy-to-use, dashboard-style tool. The app enables a better understanding of each country’s progress toward achieving the Millennium Development Goals that were set by 192 United Nations member states and 23 International Organizations. With the World Bank Data Mobile App (powered by Roambi), people can take advantage of this intuitive and interactive application to explore four of the most important Millennium Development Goals:
- Ensure Environmental Sustainability (tracks percentage of forest area land cover)
- Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women (tracks female to male ratios in education)
- Reduce Child Mortality (tracks mortality rates for children under five)
- Achieve Universal Primary Education (tracks primary school enrollment)
“The World Bank Open Data Initiative is a very important program in raising awareness and educating the public. Making accurate data available is the first step in empowering individuals and communities to make better decisions,” said Santiago Becerra, Chairman and co-founder of MeLLmo. “But data is useless in raw form – it needs to be presented in a way that is intuitive and easy to consume. The Roambi-powered World Bank Data Mobile app delivers crucial global health and education data via comprehensive, interactive mobile analytics right to the palm of your hand.”
Users can get the World Bank Data Mobile app on an Apple mobile device, in three easy steps:
1. Download the free Roambi App
2. Open Roambi on your device
3. Click “Connect” and explore Roambi Samples
To increase awareness and consumption of this data, the World Bank has announced a competition for developers to create software applications that address at least one of the Millennium Development Goals and move the world a step closer toward solving some of its most pressing problems. MeLLmo has entered its World Bank Data Mobile App (powered by Roambi) in this competition. Winners will be announced in April 2011.
