Wikiprogress is the official platform for the OECD-hosted Global Project on "Measuring the Progress of Societies". The core mission of wikiprogress is "to create global information tool supported by a worldwide partnership of organisations and individuals wishing to develop new, smarter measures of progress.

The project had an important number of correspondents that support and contribute to the network.
The OECD hosted a world forum every two or three years in co-operation with a selected host country. The 4th OECD World Forum was held in India in 2012.

In December 2020, the OECD announced that Wikiprogress would close down at the end of December 2020, stating that all content will be archived but no longer accessible online.[3]
