One third of the Commonwealth's 1.8 billion people live on less than one dollar per day; nearly two-thirds of the world's maternal deaths and HIV/AIDs cases take place in Commonwealth countries; the majority of the world's children with no access to education can be found in the Commonwealth. Time is running out: by 2005, some thirty-one of the Commonwealth's fifty-three member countries had made either slow or negligible progress on the MDGs. As Secretary-General Don McKinnon pointed out in his address to the UN World Summit, however, It's not too late to achieve the MDGs by 2015 with the requisite will, partnerships and resources.

Download or read book Millennium Development Goals written by Matthew Clarke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the year 2000, the international community agreed to a framework to address global poverty. This framework, known as the Millennium Development Goals, was time-bound with an end date of 2015. With this end now in sight, the international community is focusing on the achievement of these goals. However, it is also very important that consideration now turns to what will follow the MDGs after 2015. Millennium Development Goals: Looking Beyond 2015 provides a critical analysis of the MDGs and discusses a range of issues that must be considered by the international community in determining what poverty alleviation framework might replace the MDGs. This reflection is made even more imperative as the poverty landscape has shifted considerably since these original goals were made. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of the Asia Pacific Economy.
