| Summary: | This report has been prepared jointly by
the staffs of the World Bank and the International Monetary
Fund (IMF). This year we are facing historic development
challenges from natural disasters, to food and fuel price
spikes, and profound change in the Middle East. Despite high
beverage growth in the developing world, it is crucial to
provide opportunities to those that are being left behind.
Wealthier economies are experiencing slower growth but
development assistance needs remain high. In our
interconnected world, sustainable recovery means supporting
inclusive growth. Only four years remain until the 2015
deadline for reaching the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs). The global monitoring report 2011: improving the
odds of achieving the MDGs heterogeneity, gaps, and
challenges underlines the urgency of helping countries that
are behind on meeting key targets for extreme poverty,
hunger, disease, and child and maternal mortality. The
report lays out the challenges that remain; analyzes efforts
to improve human development; and assesses the role of
growth, policy reforms, trade, and donor policies in meeting
the MDGs. The findings from this year's report offer
reason for both hope and concern. The MDGs were designed to
provide a framework for the entire international community
to work together toward a common end: making sure that human
development reaches everyone, everywhere. If these goals are
achieved, billions more people will have the opportunity to
benefit from the global economy. |
