Description

"Keeping the Promise to the World's Poor"

World leaders agreed a few years ago to a specific plan, for improving the lot of humanity by the year 2015: The Millennium Development Goals.

Can pressure from citizens' groups make governments deliver on the promises made to the worlds poor? Would an additional US $ 50 billion in annual aid be enough to break the vicious cycle of poverty, ignorance, and disease? Can better trade policies keep 30,000 children from dying every day?

In this edition of World Chronicle, these are some of the pressing questions addressed to Salil Shetty, Director of the UN's Millennium Campaign.
