The MDGs also require that governments (together with civil society) produce plans to integrate objectives for successful achievement. I would be interested to know how just how many African governments have produced these plans. <br /><br />The Millennium Project set up by the United Nations has produced a draft progress report (which they state is not for citation as it is still in draft form) and it would be interesting to see where progress, if any, has been made. 2015 is looming fast!Mshairihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03941356278637675254noreply@blogger.com
