  1. In a nutshell the Millennium Campaign of 2002 was to 'Stand Up and Speak Out against poverty and inequality!' Set for the year 2015, the Millennium Development Goals are halfway thru but nowhere near its target.

    This year, you can join this growing movement of people calling on our leaders to take action now.

    On October 17, 2007 Stand Up and Speak Out

    "The Millennium Development Goals (MDG) were adopted five years ago by all the world's Governments as a blueprint for building a better world in the 21st century." Kofi Annan  

    ....check here:  http://www.undp.org/mdg/

    <> Set for the year 2015, the Millennium Development Goals are an agreed set of goals that can be achieved if all actors work together and do their part.

    <> Poor countries have pledged to govern better, and invest in their people through health care and education.

    <> Rich countries have pledged to support them, through aid, debt relief, and fairer trade

    The MDGs represent a global partnership that has grown from the commitments and targets established at the world summits of the 1990s. Responding to the world's main development challenges and to the calls of civil society, the MDGs promote poverty reduction, education, maternal health, gender equality, and aim at combating child mortality, AIDS and other diseases.

  2. heyya dear....

    The Millennium Campaign informs, inspires and encourages people’s involvement and action for the realization of the Millennium Development Goals. An initiative of the United Nations, the Campaign supports citizens’ efforts to hold their government to account for the Millennium promise.

    The Campaign was launched in October 2002, two years after 189 government leaders from the highest political level of almost every country in the world agreed at the September 2000 Millennium Summit to a set of eight time-bound targets that, when achieved, will end extreme poverty across the planet.

    Working at both the national and international levels, the ambition of the Campaign is to inspire a global movement to achieve the Goals and eradicate extreme poverty by 2015. Our premise is simple: we are the first generation that can put an end to extreme poverty around the world, and we refuse to miss this opportunity!

    The ongoing work of the Campaign is led by a secretariat housed at UNDP headquarters in New York”
