Title
UN Progress Report 2009
Abstract
Nine years ago, world leaders set far-sighted goals to
free a major portion of humanity from the shackles of
extreme poverty, hunger, illiteracy and disease. They
established targets for achieving gender equality and
the empowerment of women, environmental
sustainability and a global partnership for
development. In short, they adopted a blueprint for a
better world – and pledged to spare no effort in
fulfilling that vision.
This report shows that the right policies and actions,
backed by adequate funding and strong political
commitment, can yield results. Fewer people today are
dying of AIDS, and many countries are implementing
proven strategies to combat malaria and measles, two
major killers of children. The world is edging closer to
universal primary education, and we are well on our
way to meeting the target for safe drinking water.
