Delivering the Vision of the Millennium Development Goals
2005
Wolfowitz, Paul
Paul Wolfowitz, President of the World Bank, remarked that the millennium development goals (MDGs) created a metric of accountability for which humanity will hold the World Bank answerable. It also created a vital tool for measuring progress. The MDGs call for developing countries to improve performance and developed countries to fulfill their promise to increase aid. It is time to dismantle trade barriers and ending subsidies that hurt farmers and small businesses. The MDGs require strengthening the private sector and encouraging a vibrant civil society in developing countries. He related the story of Beatrice Gakuba’s efforts to create jobs for rural women. The World Bank is developing an Africa action plan with 25 initiatives to improve education, roads and power, with measurable goals.
