 “The Millennium Development Goals are still attainable. The critical question today is how to transform the pace of change from what we have seen over the last decade into dramatically faster progress. The experience of these last ten years offers ample evidence of what works and has provided tools that can help us achieve the MDGs by 2015. The Millennium Development Goals summit in September will be an opportunity for world leaders to translate this evidence into a concrete agenda for action.”

Sha Zukang, Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs, Millennium Report 2010

“Working in partnership with all stakeholders, the international community must support national development strategies, expand national policy space, accelerate investment in developing countries, minimize the likelihood of crisis and conflict and substantially improve the international response to humanitarian, rehabilitation and recovery needs, and encourage and sustain reforms for a more conducive international environment for development. In the coming months, concrete steps will be taken at all levels to improve coordination and management in support of the Millennium Development Goals. United Nations country teams, central to the United Nations country efforts, will be tasked to support the overall and sector-specific Millennium Development Goal plans of Member States.”
