Obama and the MDGs

The Obama Administration has released its plan to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by 2015. The Administration has recognized the crucial nature of the MDGs and the developmental, strategic and economic importance each of that these goals mean.
The Administration has also recognized the tremendous progress to date, but points to the vast amount of work left to be done. “Enormous progress has been made so far toward meeting the MDGs, and we must recognize, celebrate, and support these achievements. Above all, credit belongs to the citizens and governments of countries that have prioritized development and invested in their people. These achievements are also testimony to the power of successful development partnerships.
But much more remains to be done. If we are to meet the ambitious objectives we have set, historic leaps in human development will be needed. For this reason, we must be even more determined, strategic, and focused on results as we chart the path to 2015.”
The Administration focuses on four key areas; Leveraging innovation, Sustainability, tracking outcomes and practicing mutual accountability.
The Malaria Policy Center applauds the Administration’s focus on the MDGs and looks forward to seeing the results we can produce in the future.
