Product Description
* The flagship publication of the official fourteen-volume UN strategy on how to reduce extreme poverty and achieve the fundamental worldwide human development goals for the coming decade br /* Project directed by Jeffrey D. Sachs, named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time Magazine, current Director of The Earth Institute, Columbia University, and Special Adviser to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annanbr /* The essential reference work for all governments, policymakers, aid and donor agencies, development practitioners, researchers, and students worldwidebr /br /Poverty in all of its forms is devastating the lives of billions of people worldwide. In 2000, at the largest ever meeting of world leaders, the UN adopted a comprehensive set of targets known as the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) designed to galvanize world action on poverty. Investing in Development brings together the core recommendations of the UN Millennium Project, commissioned by UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and directed by Jeffrey D. Sachs--one of the world's leading economists. This landmark publication provides a bold new strategy for ending poverty, providing practical investment strategies and approaches to financing them, and an operational framework that will allow even the poorest countries to achieve the MDGs within ten years.br /br /The UN Millennium Development Library br /Investing in Development, in conjunction with thirteen associated thematic publications, comprises the UN Millennium Library. This comprehensive set of reference handbooks charts world progress and presents strategies for dramatically reducing extreme poverty in its many dimensions--income poverty, hunger, disease, exclusion, lack of infrastructure, and shelter--by 2015, while promoting gender equality, education, health and environmental sustainability. The Millennium Development Library is a comprehensive point of reference and action plan for achieving the fundamental development objectives embodied in the MDGs adopted by the UN and world leaders in 2000.
