ODI's Millennium Project Portal
Five years after signing up to the Millennium Development Goals, world leaders meet at the United Nations in New York from 14 to 16 September to review progress and agree on actions needed to accelerate efforts by poor countries towards meeting the MDGs by 2015. To facilitate easy access to materials relating to the MDGs summit as well as to the broader agenda, we have developed this portal, disaggregated by theme, and bringing together the best available ODI as well as non-ODI material.

Am 6. Juli 2009 wurde der neue Fortschrittsbericht zu den MDGs in Genf vom UN-Generalsekretariat präsentiert.
Weniger als 6 Jahre sind es noch bis 2015, der Frist zum Erreichen der MDGs. Der Bericht warnt, dass der Fortschritt zum Erreichen der meisten Ziele zu langsam voran geht - trotz vieler Erfolge. Außerdem wird bemängelt, dass größere Maßnahmen im Kampf gegen Hunger und Armut zu langsam initiiert wurden und dass es wegen der globalen Wirtschafts- und Nahrungsmittelkrise teilweise sogar zu Rückschritten kam.

Auszug aus dem Vorwort:
"We cannot allow an unfavorable economic climate to undermine the commitments made in 2000. On the contrary, our efforts to restore economic growth should be seen as an opportunity to take some of the hard decisions needed to create a more equitable and sustainable future." Ban Ki-moon
