Statement by Mr. Robert Piper: UN Resident Coordinator In Nepal On behalf Of The UN Country Team On The Occasion Of Stand Up And Take Action Against Poverty (16th October)
|
In the year 2000, another very distinguished group, the largest gathering of Heads of State, ever, reflected on the close of an old millennium and the opening of a new one at the Millennium Summit in New York. A key element in the Millennium Declaration that emerged from that meeting was the recognition that despite the fact that Mankind has the resources and know-how to meet the world’s basic needs, going into a new Millennium, our record was far from satisfactory. With the Millennium Declaration, developed and developing countries alike, pledged to achieve a number of ambitious Goals – The Millennium Development Goals. Developed countries pledged resources, technology and improved market access. Governments of developing countries pledged to direct their own resources, and political capital towards achieving these Goals. The United Nations family was directed to support this effort and to help track progress.
