Africa: The UN MDGs and beyond

At the United Nations Millennium Review Summit, September 14-16, 2005, world leaders will meet in New York to discuss the future of the United Nations, global collective security, and relations between rich and poor. This meeting will mark five years since the largest-ever gathering of Heads of State and Government adopted the Millennium Declaration. For the last four years, The North-South Institute (NSI) and the World Federation of United Nations Associations (WFUNA) have conducted annual global online surveys of civil society engagement with the implementation of the Millennium Declaration and the MDGs. The URL provided links through to the survey for 2005 where more than 400 groups provided a wealth of information about their work on the MDGs and their assessment of progress on Declaration objectives.
