Afternoon Session 3 p.m. – 6 p.m.
This panel focuses on the current state of the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) campaigns around the world and provides
candid assessments of progress within the United Nations system
and among governments and civil society partners, particularly
NGOs.
The discussion will assess the status of MDGs such as poverty
eradication, universal primary education, food security, gender
equality, good governance, reduced child mortality, improved
maternal health care, halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and development
assistance. Panelists will provide insights into those goals
and regions that are on track and those that are behind schedule
or particularly problematic.
