The Millennium Development Goals, adopted at the UN Millennium
Summit in 2000, are the world's targets for dramatically reducing
extreme poverty in its many dimensions by 2015?income poverty,
hunger, disease, exclusion, lack of infrastructure and shelter
while promoting gender equality, education, health and
environmental sustainability. These bold goals can be met in all
parts of the world if nations follow through on their commitments
to work together to meet them. Achieving the Millennium Development
Goals offers the prospect of a more secure, just, and prosperous
world for all. The UN Millennium Project was commissioned by United
Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan to develop a practical plan of
action to meet the Millennium Development Goals. As an independent
advisory body directed by Professor Jeffrey D. Sachs, the UN
Millennium Project submitted its recommendations to the UN
Secretary General in January 2005. The core of the UN Millennium
Project's work has been carried out by 10 thematic Task Forces
comprising more than 250 experts from around the world, including
scientists, development practitioners, parliamentarians,
policymakers, and representatives from civil society, UN agencies,
the World Bank, the IMF, and the private sector. Coming to Grips
with Malaria in the New Millennium presents an innovative strategic
framework for relieving the burden that malaria imposes on society
through the implementation of tried and tested anti-malarial
interventions designed to improve health nationally and to promote
economic development locally. Recommendations include early
diagnosis, treatment with effective anti-malarial medicines, the
use of insecticide treated nets, indoor residual spraying, managing
the environment, improving housing, extending health education and
improving monitoring and evaluation systems.
