The millennium development goals report 2010 This report highlights a number of successes, while also assessing the human impact of lack of adequate progress on many of the millennium development goals. Shows that the goals are achievable when nationally owned development strategies and policies are supported by international development partners.
The economic crisis took a heavy toll on jobs and incomes around the world, but its impact does not threaten achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) target of cutting the rate of extreme poverty in half by 2015. This report highlights a number of successes, while also assessing the human impact of lack of adequate progress on many of the Goals. This report shows that the Goals are achievable when nationally owned development strategies and policies are supported by international development partners. At the same time, it is clear that improvements in the lives of the poor have been unacceptably slow, and some hard-won gains are being eroded by the climate, food and economic crises. Billions of people are looking to the international community to realize the great vision embodied in the Millennium Development Goals.
