Last week world leaders from government, business, foundations, research organizations and other nonprofits gathered for three days in New York at a United Nations summit to assess progress toward the anti-poverty Millennium Development Goals. During the summit they reaffirmed their commitment and adopted a global action plan to achieve the eight anti-poverty goals by their 2015 target date.
The summit produced a document, “Keeping the Promise: United to Achieve the Millennium Development Goals,” which, based on examples of success and lessons learned over the past 10 years, spells out specific steps to be taken to accelerate progress on each of the eight Goals. A number of members of the Boston College Center are participants in the Private Sector Forum organized by the U.N. Global Compact.
