Africa can move faster on MDGs, says report
A new report on the Millennium Development Goals published by the Economic Commission for Africa says that despite widespread pessimism, some African countries are on course to meet key Goals and that with the right policies; many more could meet the target date of 2015. The report says countries such as Ghana, Botswana, Uganda and Burkina Faso are likely to achieve Goal One of halving poverty by the deadline. Many more countries remain far behind, but the report argues that their governments can be successful at reducing extreme poverty if they use the MDGs as a tool in shaping their development policies. The report, entitled ‘The Millennium Development Goals in Africa – Progress and Challenges”, has been issued to coincide with the World Summit at UN headquarters in New York from 14-16 September.
