* One of 14 publications comprising the official UN strategy on how
to reduce extreme poverty and achieve the fundamental worldwide
human development goals for the coming decade * 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 Annan* The essential reference work for all
governments, policymakers, aid and donor agencies, development
practitioners, researchers, and students worldwideThe current
international trading system is stacked against developing
countries, a situation that severely hampers development and
ongoing attempts to eradicate poverty. "Trade for Development"
presents the framework necessary to correct this imbalance and give
developing countries greater economic growth potential and a more
effective capacity to defeat poverty. Action on trade--such as the
progressive elimination of remaining trade barriers in goods and
services, with rich countries leading by example, coupled with
enough support for poor countries to bear adjustment costs and
build export capacity--must be part of the international effort to
defeat poverty.The UN Millennium Development Library Trade for
Development, in conjunction with the flagship publication Investing
in Development, is one of 13 thematic publications that comprise
the UN Millennium Library. This 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. This Library is the official,
comprehensive point of reference and action plan for achieving the
fundamental development objectives embodied in the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) adopted by the UN and world leaders in
2000.
