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. This report lays
out the recommendations of the UN Millennium Project Task Force on
Child and Maternal Health. The Task Force recommends the rapid and
equitable scale-up of interventions like the Integrated Management
of Childhood Illness, the universal provision of emergency
obstetric care, and sexual and reproductive health services and
rights be provided through strengthened health systems. This will
require that health systems be seen as social institutions to which
all members of society have a fundamental right. This bold yet
practical approach will enable every country to reduce the
under-five mortality rate by two-thirds and the maternal mortality
rate by three-quarters by 2015.
