Résumé
In September 2000, world leaders from 187 States met for the Millennium Summit in New York to discuss “The Role of the United Nations in the wenty-first century”.1 Eight time-bound and theoretically measurable Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were agreed upon, aimed at combating poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy, environmental degradation and discrimination against women. To guide the achievement of the MDGs more concretely, one or more targets were set for each goal. With the MDGs, Member States sought to establish within the United Nations system a framework uniting the efforts of the different entities towards a common objective.2 The United Nations Development Group (UNDG) was set to function as a coordinator and help ensure that the MDGs remain a cornerstone of the United Nations collaborative efforts The objective of the following report is to analyse efforts undertaken by the United Nations system and its partners as well as progress towards the achievement of the MDGs. The report focuses on the first MDG - poverty eradication - and the eighth - economic development - as well as the second and third goals, grouped under the topic of education. As such, the attainment of the goal, including its various objectives will be analysed in relation to the efforts of several United Nations agencies towards effecting sustainable development through poverty reduction, adequate education, financing activities, information and communication technology advancement and trade.
