The last few weeks have seen one man held countries fall into 'people' reigned. From Tunis to Cairo, it was same news, maybe 'good news'. However, Libya may prove a different story because here, one man is great man, one nation is in anarchy because the media wants us to believe alot. Let us hope that the abolition of the Libyian 'anarchy' will not inflict the people with a catastrophe of the dimensions of which none of us imagined. The time to act is now!

IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn told policymakers from 186 countries gathered in Istanbul for the IMF/World Bank Group Annual Meetings that global cooperation had saved the world from a far worse crisis and leaders should now seize the opportunity to shape a post-crisis world.

He stated that barely a year ago, people feared the worst. But after concerted action to combat the crisis, the world had pulled back from the brink. “Even if it is much too early to declare victory, we have at least stepped onto the road to recovery.”

Mr. Strauss-Kahn also made a remarkable statement that: 'It no longer makes sense for global economic policy to be the concern of just a small group of countries” while promising that recent reforms at the IMF would carry all countries along to achieve and build a stronger and better post crisis world.

Many of the world's leading figures in international trade have gathered in New Delhi, India, for a conference which the Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO) quipped is perfect timing and a "pre-engineered plot" on the part of the organisers.

Referring to the failed Doha talks in Geneva last month, in which member countries of the WTO failed to reach an agreement on future trade negotiations, Pascal Lamy acknowledged that during these "turbulent times", at a moment when multilateralism and international co-operation are being challenged, more partnerships are needed as global problems, such as the current food crisis, require global responses.


It is this theme - Global Partnership for Development - which is the central focus of the conference being held on 12 and 13 August 2008 and organised by CUTS, a leading civil society organisation, in association with the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry, the Commonwealth Secretariat, the India Office of the World Bank, and the Department of Commerce, Government of India.

At a "difficult juncture in international trade talks", Pradeep Mehta, who heads CUTS, described the meeting as a "historic opportunity" for those present to engage in whole-hearted and frank debate.

"We owe it to the poor around the world," he said at the inaugural session, which included trade and finance ministers, trade negotiators, academics and representatives from businesses and civil society organisations. "The question is, can we do it?"

The eighth Millennium Development Goal - Developing a Global Partnership for Development - the theme for the conference was described by Commonwealth Deputy Secretary-General Ransford Smith, as "the forgotten MDG" during his opening address.

He emphasised its importance in seeking to hold both rich and poor countries accountable for advancing the MDGs.

The two important targets under this MDG are to 'develop further an open, rule based predictable, non-discriminatory trading and financial system' and to 'address the special needs of the least developed countries, landlocked countries and small island states'.

"In terms of these two targets it seems that very little progress has been made during the last seven years or so. The promise that the Doha Round held out in these two areas has not been realised," Mr Smith said.

The global partnership indicated in this MDG, he added, is intended to promote poverty reduction and social and economic development.

"This cannot be achieved if trade shocks or other adjustment measures affect vulnerable groups disproportionately and exacerbate poverty."

Another Millennium Development Goal target noted by Mr Smith is that of halving the proportion of people who suffer from hunger.

"It is imperative that the global development community responds effectively to the current food and fuel crises. A large number of other poor and small countries are seriously affected," said Mr Smith, adding that "it is clear that the architecture currently does not exist to provide effective support to these countries at the time when they need it most."

Le but oublié de développement de millénium

Plusieurs des chiffres principaux mondiaux dans le commerce international ont recueilli à New Delhi, Inde, pour une conférence que le directeur général de l'organisation de commerce mondial (OMC) raillée est synchronisation parfaite et « une parcelle de terrain pré-machinée » de la part des organisateurs.

En référence à Doha échoué parle à Genève le mois dernier, l'où les pays membres de l'OMC ne concluent pas un accord sur de futures négociations commerciales, Pascal Lamy reconnu dont pendant ces « périodes turbulentes », à un moment quand le multilatéralisme et la coopération internationale sont défiés, plus d'associations sont eu besoin pendant que les problèmes globaux, tels que la crise de nourriture courante, exigent des réponses globales.


C'est ce thème - association globale pour le développement - qui est le centre central de la conférence étant tenue les 12 et 13 août 2008 et organisée par des COUPES, une principale organisation civile de société, en association avec la fédération des chambres de commerce indiennes et l'industrie, du secrétariat de Commonwealth, de l'Office de l'Inde de la banque mondiale, et du ministère du commerce, gouvernement de l'Inde.

« À une jointure difficile dans le commerce international parle », Pradeep Mehta, qui dirigent les COUPES, a décrit la réunion comme « occasion historique » pour que les participants s'engagent au cours de la discussion sincère et franche.

« Nous le devons aux pauvres autour du monde, » il a dit à la session inaugurale, qui a inclus des ministres du commerce et des finances, des négociateurs commerciaux, des universitaires et des représentants des entreprises et des organismes civils de société. « La question est, peut nous le font ? »

Le huitième but de développement de millénium - développant une association globale pour le développement - le thème pour la conférence a été décrit par sécrétaire général Ransford Smith de Commonwealth Député, comme « MDG oublié » pendant son discours d'ouverture.

Il a souligné son importance en cherchant à juger les pays riches et pauvres responsables d'avancer le MDGs.

Les deux cibles importantes sous ce MDG sont « développent plus loin un ouvert, le commerce prévisible et non discriminatoire basé sur les règles et le système financier » et « satisfaire les besoins spéciaux des pays moins développés, des pays sans littoral et de la petite île énonce ».

« En termes de ces deux cibles il semble que très peu progrès a été fait pendant les sept dernières années ou ainsi. La promesse que le rond de Doha donné dans ces deux secteurs n'a pas été réalisé, « M. Smith a indiqué.

L'association globale indiquée dans ce MDG, il a ajouté, est prévu pour favoriser la réduction de pauvreté et le développement économique social et.

« Ceci ne peut pas être réalisé si les chocs du commerce ou d'autres mesures d'ajustement affectent les groupes vulnérables d'une façon disproportionnée et aggravent la pauvreté. »

Une autre cible de but de développement de millénium remarquable par M. Smith est celle de diviser en deux la proportion de personnes qui souffrent de la faim.

« Il est impératif que la communauté globale de développement réponde efficacement aux crises courantes de nourriture et de carburant. Un grand nombre d'autres pays pauvres et petits sont sérieusement affectés, « a dit M. Smith, ajoutant que « il est clair que l'architecture actuellement n'existe pas pour fournir l'appui efficace à ces pays au moment où ils ont besoin de lui plus. »

La meta olvidada del desarrollo del milenio

Muchas de las figuras principales del mundo en comercio internacional han recolectado en Nueva Deli, la India, para una conferencia que el director general de la organización del comercio mundial (WTO) quipped es sincronización perfecta y un “diagrama pre-dirigido” de parte de los organizadores.

Refiriendo al Doha fallado habla en Ginebra el mes pasado, en el cual los países de miembro del WTO no pudieron alcanzar un acuerdo en las negociaciones comerciales futuras, Pascal Lamy reconocido que durante estas “épocas turbulentas”, en un momento cuando se están desafiando el multilateralism y la cooperación internacional, más sociedades se necesitan mientras que los problemas globales, tales como la crisis de alimento actual, requieren respuestas globales.


Es este tema - sociedad global para el desarrollo - que es el foco central de la conferencia que es sostenida los días 12 y 13 de agosto de 2008 y organizada por los CORTES, una organización civil principal de la sociedad, en asociación con la federación de las Cámaras indias de Comercio e industria, de la secretaría de la Commonwealth, de la oficina de la India del banco mundial, y del Ministerio de Comercio, gobierno de la India.

En una “juntura difícil en comercio internacional habla”, Pradeep Mehta, que dirigieron los CORTES, describió la reunión como “oportunidad histórica” para que los presentes enganchen al discusión sincero y franco.

“Lo debemos a los pobres alrededor del mundo,” él dijo en la sesión inaugural, que incluyó Ministros del comercio y de Hacienda, los negociadores comerciales, académico y representantes de negocios y de organizaciones civiles de la sociedad. “La pregunta es, puede nosotros lo hace?”

La octava meta del desarrollo del milenio - desarrollando una sociedad global para el desarrollo - el tema para la conferencia fue descrita por secretario general Ransford Smith de la Commonwealth Diputado, como “el MDG olvidado” durante su discurso de apertura.

Él acentuó su importancia en intentar sostener los países ricos y pobres responsables de avanzar el MDGs.

Las dos blancos importantes debajo de este MDG son “desarrollan más lejos un abierto, el negociar fiable, no discriminatorio basado en las reglas y sistema financiero” y “tratar las necesidades especiales del lo más menos posible - los países desarrollados, los países sin mar y la isla pequeña indica”.

“En términos de estas dos blancos se parece que muy poco progreso se ha hecho durante los siete años pasados o tan. La promesa que el redondo de Doha sostenido hacia fuera en estas dos áreas no se ha observado, “Sr. Smith dijo.

La sociedad global indicada en este MDG, él agregó, se piensa promover la reducción de la pobreza y el desarrollo social y económico.

“Esto no puede ser alcanzada si los choques del comercio u otras medidas del ajuste afectan a grupos vulnerables desproporcionado y exacerban pobreza.”

Otra blanco de la meta del desarrollo del milenio conocida por Sr. Smith es la de partir en dos la proporción de la gente que sufre de hambre.

“Es imprescindible que la comunidad global del desarrollo responde con eficacia a las crisis actuales del alimento y del combustible. Una gran cantidad de otros países pobres y pequeños se afectan seriamente, “dijo a Sr. Smith, agregando que “está claro que la arquitectura no existe actualmente para proporcionar la ayuda eficaz a estos países cuando la necesitan más.”

L'obiettivo dimenticato di sviluppo di millennio

Molte delle figure principali del mondo nel commercio internazionale hanno riunito a Nuova Delhi, India, per un congresso che il Direttore Generale dell'organizzazione di commercio mondiale (WTO) quipped è la sincronizzazione perfetta e “un diagramma pre-costruito„ da parte dei organisers.

Riferendosi ai colloqui guastati di Doha a Ginevra ultimo mese, in où gli Stati membri del WTO non riescono a raggiungere un accordo sulle trattative commerciali future, Pascal Lamy hanno riconosciuto quello durante questi “periodi turbolenti„, ad un momento quando il multilateralism e la cooperazione internazionale stanno sfidandi, più associazioni sono necessarie mentre i problemi globali, quale la crisi di alimento corrente, richiedono le risposte globali.


È questo tema - associazione globale per sviluppo - che è il fuoco centrale del congresso che è tenuto il 12 e il 13 agosto 2008 ed organizzato dai TAGLI, un'organizzazione civile principale della società, in collaborazione con la federazione delle camere di commercio indiane ed industria, del segretariato del commonwealth, dell'ufficio dell'India della banca del mondo e del ministero del commercio, governo dell'India.

“Ad una giuntura difficile nei colloqui di commercio internazionale„, Pradeep Mehta, che dirigono i TAGLI, ha descritto la riunione come “occasione storica„ affinchè i presenti si agganci nel dibattito illimitato e franco.

“Lo dobbiamo ai poveri intorno al mondo,„ ha detto alla sessione inaugurale, che ha incluso i ministri di finanza e di commercio, i negoziatori commerciali, il academics ed i rappresentanti dai commerci e dalle organizzazioni civili della società. “La domanda è, può noi lo fa?„

L'ottavo obiettivo di sviluppo di millennio - sviluppando un'associazione globale per sviluppo - il tema per il congresso è stato descritto dal segretario generale Ransford Smith del Commonwealth Delegato, come “il MDG dimenticato„ durante la sua allocuzione d'apertura.

Ha dato risalto alla relativa importanza nella ricerca giudicare sia p#si ricchi che poveri responsabili per avanzare il MDGs.

I due obiettivi importanti sotto questo MDG sono “sviluppano più ulteriormente un commercio prevedibile e non discriminatorio aperto e basato sulla norma ed il sistema finanziario„ e “rispondere ai bisogni speciali dei paesi meno avanzati, dei paesi senza littorale e di piccola isola dichiara„.

“In termini di questi due obiettivi sembra che pochissimo progresso è stato fatto durante i sette anni ultimi o così. La promessa che il rotondo di Doha dato in queste due zone non è stato realizzato, “il sig. Smith ha detto.

L'associazione globale indicata in questo MDG, ha aggiunto, è inteso promuovere la riduzione di povertà e lo sviluppo sociale ed economico.

“Questo non può essere realizzato se le scosse di commercio o altre misure di registrazione interessano sproporzionatamente i gruppi vulnerabili ed esacerbano la povertà.„

Un altro obiettivo di obiettivo di sviluppo di millennio celebre dal sig. Smith è quello di divisione della percentuale di gente che soffre da fame.

“È di importanza fondamentale che la Comunità globale di sviluppo risponde efficacemente alle crisi correnti del combustibile e dell'alimento. Tantissimi altri poveri e piccoli paesi sono influenzati seriamente, “ha detto il sig. Smith, aggiungendo che “è chiaro che l'architettura attualmente non esiste per fornire il supporto efficace a questi paesi nel momento in cui lo hanno bisogno più.„

Viele der führenden Abbildungen der Welt im zwischenstaatlichen Handel haben in Neu-Delhi, Indien, für eine Konferenz erfaßt, die der Generaldirektor der Welthandel-Organisation (WTO) gewitzelt vollkommenes TIMING und ein „vor-ausgeführter Plot“ von seiten der Organisatoren ist.

Auf das verlassene Doha bezugnehmend, spricht in Genf letzter Monat, in dem Mitgliedsländer des WTO eine Vereinbarung über zukünftige Handelsverhandlungen, bestätigter Pascal Lamy erreichen nicht können, den während dieser „turbulenten Zeiten“, an einem Moment, wenn multilateralism und internationale Mitarbeit herausgefordert wird, mehr Teilhaberschaften benötigt werden, während globale Probleme, wie die gegenwärtige Lebensmittelknappheit, globale Antworten erfordern.


Es ist dieses Thema - globale Teilhaberschaft für Entwicklung - die der zentrale Fokus der Konferenz ist, die an den 12. und 13. August 2008 gehalten wird und durch SCHNITTE, eine führende Zivilgesellschaftorganisation, in Verbindung mit der Vereinigung der indischen Industrie- und Handelskammern, des Commonwealth-Sekretariats, des Indien Büros der Weltbank und des Handelsministeriums organisiert ist, Regierung von Indien.

An einem „schwierigen kritischen Augenblick im zwischenstaatlichen Handel spricht“, Pradeep Mehta, die SCHNITTE vorangehen, beschrieb die Sitzung als „historische Gelegenheit“ für die sich darstellen, um sich in der uneingeschränkten und aufrichtigen Debatte zu engagieren.

„Wir verdanken es den Armen um die Welt,“, sagte er am Eröffnungslernabschnitt, der Handel und Finanzminister, Geschäftsunterhändler, Akademiker und Repräsentanten von den Geschäften und von den Zivilgesellschaftorganisationen einschloß. „Die Frage ist, kann wir tun es?“

Das achte Jahrtausend-Entwicklung Ziel - eine globale Teilhaberschaft für Entwicklung entwickelnd - das Thema für die Konferenz wurde Commonwealth Abgeordneter vom Generalsekretär Ransford Smith, als „das vergessene MDG“ während seiner öffnung Adresse beschrieben.

Er hob seinen Wert beim Suchen, die reichen und armen zu halten Länder hervor, die für das Vorrücken des MDGs verantwortlich sind.

Die zwei wichtigen Ziele unter diesem MDG sind „entwickeln weiter ein geöffnetes, Richtlinie gegründetes vorhersagbares, nicht diskriminierendes Handeln und finanzielles System“ und „die speziellen Notwendigkeiten von wenig adressieren - entwickelte Länder, landumschlossene Länder und kleine Insel gibt“ an.

„In diesen zwei Zielen ausgedrückt scheint es, daß sehr wenig Fortschritt während der letzten sieben Jahre oder so gebildet worden ist. Die Versprechung, daß das Doha runde gehalten heraus in diesen zwei Bereichen nicht verwirklicht worden ist, „Herr Smith sagte.

Die globale Teilhaberschaft, die in diesem MDG angezeigt wurde, addierte er, soll Armutverkleinerung und Sozial- und ökonomische Entwicklung fördern.

„Dieses kann nicht erzielt werden, wenn Handel Schläge oder andere Justagemasse verletzbare Gruppen unproportioniert beeinflussen und verbittern Armut.“

Ein anderes Jahrtausend-Entwicklung Zielziel, das von Herrn Smith gemerkt wird, ist das des Halbierens des Anteils Leuten, die unter Hunger leiden.

„Es ist zwingend, daß die globale Entwicklung Gemeinschaft effektiv auf die gegenwärtigen Nahrungsmittel- und Kraftstoffkrisen reagiert. Viele andere schlechte und kleine Länder werden beeinflußt ernsthaft, „sagte Herrn Smith und addieren, daß „es frei ist, daß die Architektur z.Z. nicht besteht, um wirkungsvolle Unterstützung zu diesen Ländern zu geben, zur Zeit als sie benötigen sie am meisten.“

Muitas das figuras principais do mundo no comércio internacional recolheram em Nova Deli, India, para uma conferência que o director-geral da organização de comércio de mundo (WTO) quipped fosse sincronismo perfeito e “um lote pre-projetado” na parte dos organisers.

Consultando ao Doha falhado fala em Genebra o último mês, em que os países de membro do WTO não alcançam um acordo nas negociações de comércio futuras, Pascal Lamy reconhecido que durante estas “épocas turbulent”, em um momento quando o multilateralism e a cooperação internacional estão sendo desafiados, mais parcerias são necessitadas enquanto os problemas globais, tais como a crise de alimento atual, requerem respostas globais.


É este tema - parceria global para o desenvolvimento - em que está o foco central da conferência que está sendo prendida 12 e 13 agosto 2008 e organizada pelos CORTES, uma organização civil principal da sociedade, na associação com o Federation de câmaras de comércio Indian e de indústria, do Secretariat da comunidade, do escritório de India do banco de mundo, e do departamento de comércio, governo de India.

“Em um juncture difícil no comércio internacional fala”, Pradeep Mehta, que dirigem os CORTES, descreveu a reunião como “uma oportunidade historic” para aquelas apresentam-se para acoplar no debate whole-hearted e frank.

“Nós devemo-lo aos pobres em torno do mundo,” disse na sessão inaugural, que incluiu ministros do comércio e de finanças, os negotiators de comércio, o academics e os representantes dos negócios e das organizações civis da sociedade. “A pergunta é, pode nós fá-lo?”

O oitavo objetivo do desenvolvimento do Millennium - desenvolvendo uma parceria global para o desenvolvimento - o tema para a conferência foi descrito pelo secretário geral Ransford Smith de Comunidade Deputado, como “o MDG esquecido” durante seu endereço de abertura.

Emfatizou sua importância em procurar prender os países ricos e pobres accountable para avançar o MDGs.

Os dois alvos importantes sob este MDG são “desenvolvem mais mais um aberto, negociar predictable, non-discriminatory baseado régua e sistema financeiro” e “para dirigir-se o mais menos às necessidades especiais do - os países desenvolvidos, os países landlocked e o console pequeno indicam”.

“Nos termos destes dois alvos parece que pouco progresso estêve feito muito durante os últimos sete anos ou assim. A promessa que o redondo de Doha prendido para fora nestas duas áreas não estêve realizado, “Sr. Smith disse.

A parceria global indicada neste MDG, adicionou, é pretendido promover a redução da pobreza e o desenvolvimento social e econômico.

“Isto não pode ser conseguido se os choques do comércio ou outras medidas do ajuste afetarem grupos vulneráveis desproporcionalmente e exacerbate a pobreza.”

Um outro alvo do objetivo do desenvolvimento do Millennium notável pelo Sr. Smith é aquele de halving a proporção dos povos que sofrem da fome.

“É imperativo que a comunidade global do desenvolvimento responde eficazmente às crises atuais do alimento e do combustível. Um grande número outros países pobres e pequenos são afetados seriamente, “disse o Sr. Smith, adicionando que “está desobstruído que a arquitetura atualmente não existe para fornecer naquele tempo a sustentação eficaz a estes países quando a necessitam mais.”

Många av världens leda figurerar i internationell handel har samlat i nya Delhi, Indien, för en konferens som generaldirektören av den säga någonting spydigt världshandelorganisationen (WTO) är görar perfekt tajming och ”eniscensatt täppa” på delen av organisatörerna.

Se till den missade Dohaen talar i Geneva den sist månaden, i som medlemländer av WTOEN som missas för att nå en överenskommelse på framtida handelförhandlingar, bekräftade Pascal Lamy, som under dessa ”turbulent tider”, på ett ögonblick, när multilateralism- och landskampsamarbete utmanas, mer partnerskap behövs, som globala problem, liksom strömmatkrisen, kräver globala svar.


Det är detta tema - globalt partnerskap för utveckling - som är centralen fokuserar av konferensen som rymms på 12 och 13 Augusti 2008 och organiseras av SNITT, en ledande borgerlig samhälleorganisation, i anslutning med federationen av indiska handelskammarar och bransch, Commonwealthsecretariaten, det Indien kontoret av världsbankenen och avdelningen av kommers, regering av Indien.

På ”en svår kritiskt ögonblick i internationell handel talar”, Pradeep Mehta, som heads SNITT, beskrev mötet som ”ett historiskt tillfälle” för de gåva att koppla in i whole-hearted och frank debatt.

”Benämner in av dessa två uppsätta som mål det verkar att mycket lite framsteg har gjorts under de sist sju åren eller så. Löftet, att Doha Round som rymms ut i dessa två områden inte har realiserats, ”den Herr smeden sade.

Det globala partnerskap som indikerades i denna MDG, tillfogade ämnas han, främja armodförminskning och samkvämet och ekonomisk utveckling.

Veel van de leidende figuren van de wereld in internationale handel hebben zich in New Delhi, India, voor een conferentie verzameld die de Directeur -generaal van de Wereldhandelsorganisatie (WTO) is perfecte timing en een „pre-gebouwd perceel“ namens de organisatoren quipped.

Het verwijzen naar ontbroken Doha spreekt in Genève vorige maand, waarin de lidstaten van WTO er niet in slaagden om een akkoord te bereiken over toekomstige handelsonderhandelingen, Pascal Lamy erkende dat tijdens deze „wilde tijden“, op een ogenblik wanneer multilateralism en de internationale samenwerking worden uitgedaagd, meer vennootschappen nodig zijn aangezien de globale problemen, zoals de huidige voedselcrisis, globale reacties vereisen.


Het is dit thema - Globaal Vennootschap voor Ontwikkeling - die de centrale nadruk van de conferentie die op 12 en 13 Augustus 2008 wordt gehouden en die door BESNOEIINGEN, een belangrijke burgerlijke de maatschappijorganisatie, in samenwerking met de Federatie van Indische Kamers van Koophandel En de Industrie, het Secretariaat van de Commonwealth, het Bureau van India wordt georganiseerd van de Wereldbank, en het Ministerie van Handel is, Regering van India.

Bij een „moeilijke verbinding in internationale handelsbesprekingen“, Pradeep Mehta, die BESNOEIINGEN leidt, de vergadering als „historische kans“ voor de aanwezigen beschreef om in hartgrondig en openhartig debat in dienst te nemen.

„Wij zijn het aan de armen verschuldigd rond de wereld,“ hij zei bij de openingszitting, die handel en Ministers van Financiën, handelsonderhandelaars, academics en vertegenwoordigers van ondernemingen en burgerlijke de maatschappijorganisaties omvatte. De „vraag is, kan wij doet het?“

Het doel dat van de Ontwikkeling van het achtste Millennium - een Globaal Vennootschap voor Ontwikkeling ontwikkelt - werd het thema voor de conferentie beschreven door de Afgevaardigde van de Commonwealth Secretaris-generaal Ransford Smith, als „vergeten MDG“ tijdens zijn openingstoespraak.

Hij benadrukte zijn belang in het willen zowel rijke als arme landen verantwoordelijk houden voor het vooruitgaan van MDGs.

De twee belangrijke doelstellingen onder dit MDG moeten „een open, regel gebaseerde voorspelbare, niet discriminerende handel en een financieel systeem“ verder ontwikkelen en „op de speciale behoeften van de minst meest ontwikkelde landen, geheel door land omgeven landen en kleine eilandstaten“ gericht zijn.

„In termen van deze twee doelstellingen schijnt het dat zeer weinig vooruitgang tijdens de laatste zeven jaar of zo is geboekt. De belofte dat de Ronde Doha die op deze twee gebieden wordt standgehouden niet is gerealiseerd, „M. Smith zei.

Het globale vennootschap dat in dit MDG wordt vermeld, voegde hij toe, is bedoeld om armoedevermindering en sociale en economische ontwikkeling te bevorderen.

„Dit kan worden bereikt niet als de handelsschokken of andere aanpassingsmaatregelen onevenredig kwetsbare groepen beïnvloeden en armoede.“ verergeren

Een ander doel van het Doel van de Ontwikkeling van het Millennium dat door M. Smith wordt genoteerd is dat van het halveren van het aandeel mensen die aan honger lijden.

„Het is noodzakelijk dat de globale ontwikkelingsgemeenschap effectief aan de huidige voedsel en brandstofcrisissen antwoordt. Een groot aantal andere arme en kleine landen wordt ernstig beïnvloed, „zei M. Smith toevoegen, die dat „het duidelijk is dat de architectuur momenteel bestaat om geen efficiënte steun aan deze landen te verlenen wanneer zij het.“ het meest nodig hebben

Tell Chief Olusegun Obasanjo: Sign the FOI Bill into Law



As we write this, the FOI bill is on the desk of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria awaiting his assent.



The Freedom of Information Bill 2007, as passed by both chambers of the National Assembly, was sent to President Olusegun Obasanjo for presidential assent on Friday, March 23, 2007. It is now 18 days till the deadline for him to sign the Bill into Law elapses.



The benefits of a Freedom of Information Act would be far-reaching for Nigeria and Nigerians as it would, amongst other things, promote an accountable and transparent system of government.



Last month, the Nigeria Network of NGOs (NNNGO) wrote to the Senate President, Speaker House of Representatives and President Obasanjo on the need to speed up work on the concurrence process of the FOI Bill, we are pleased to report that this yielded fruits as the National Assembly passed the bill which today awaits the Presidents assent.



Now, with the bill awaiting President Olusegun Obasanjo’s assent, take a moment to write a letter to Chief Olusegun Obasanjo at the address below asking him to sign the FOI Bill into law.

The 2007 Conference of African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development ended Tuesday April 3, with the adoption of resolutions calling for action to ensure that the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are achieved in African countries.

The two-day meeting, hosted by the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), was convened on the theme: “ Accelerating Africa's Growth and Development to Meet the MDGs: Emerging Challenges and the Way Forward .”

Noting that time is fast running out for making the necessary investments that will ensure that Africa reaches the MDGs, the Ministers committed, together with the international community, to ensure that 2007 becomes the year for scaling-up interventions at national, regional and global levels.

During the debate, ministers concluded that scaling up of both public and private sector investments were key to meeting the MDGs. Although there was agreement on the crucial role of the private sector in accelerating growth, the Ministers noted that private investments would not grow substantially without a massive leap in public sector investments. This should go to key sectors like human resources and infrastructure development.

The ministers also committed to designing nationally owned development strategies that have the MDGs at their core. In this regard, they urged the international community to allow African governments the necessary policy space to design strategies adapted to the specific needs of each country with a view towards ending aid dependency over time.

“We commit to redouble efforts to share experiences among member States, to promote peer learning, and to build strong African leadership to guide the process,” reads the statement.

The Former President of Tanzania, H.E. Benjamin Mkapa, who currently co-chairs the Investment Climate Facility, a body established to encourage international investments in Africa, also addressed the meeting.

President Mkapa referred to the domestic resources gap, which means foreign investments and external resource flows will continue to be important in the effort to scale-up interventions. He nevertheless made a call for self-reliance by stating that even though donors had pledged to increase financing, it was not made under oath, and “you cannot blame someone who has not made an oath for breaking an oath.”

The eminent economist, Jeffery Sachs, also addressed the conference, stating his belief that the MDGs can still be achieved in Africa, but that it will require a massive scaling-up of investments in four key sectors, which are: health, education, agriculture and infrastructure. He stated that millennium villages, being piloted in several African countries, are using this model of investments and achieving a remarkable improvement in livelihoods.

The Ministers also commended ECA for its bold and strategic business plan for the years 2007 – 2009, and committed themselves, together with development partners, to fully back the programme with adequate resources to ensure its success. They also noted with appreciation the strong and growing working relationship between ECA, the African Union Commission and the African Development Bank.

African agriculture is performing poorly both in absolute and relative terms when compared to other developing regions of the world, the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) of the United Nations said on Tuesday. FAO said that in some instances, the most undernourished and malnourished are mostly the farmers themselves. In 2003-4, of the 53 countries in the world with food emergencies situations, 24 were from sub-Saharan Africa, the UN agency added. According to FAO, the estimated total number of the undernourished in Africa grew from 170 million to 203 million over the decade between 1990-1992 and 2000-2002 while declining in other developing regions notably in Asia.

Edouard K. Tapsoba, FAO Regional Representative for Africa in his report to the African finance ministers conference on MGDs indicated that in some countries the share of agriculture in national budgets was still less than 5 %. "Africa was net food exporter in the earlier years of independence in the 1960's.It was almost self sufficient in cereals and even exporting small amounts of maize and sorghum. It was exporter of groundnuts (where have Nigeria and Senegal's groundnuts pyramids of the 1960's and early 1970's gone?),"Tapsoba asked African ministers who converged here to discuss on the ways of achieving the UN-set MDGs.

It was reported that, continent wide, agriculture contributes around 20 % and between 21 % and between 61 % for half of African countries. "It is the largest employer since it accounts for about 60 % of total labor force and even more in some countries. In terms of external trade it contributes to about 20 % of total export earnings. All African countries are not at the same level of agricultural development nor are they all progressing at the same pace. Some are doing better than others. But globally the situation remains of serious concern," Tapsoba said. Tapsoba indicated that African governments have a critical role to play to move the sector forward. "It is clear that at this stage of the development of most African countries, African governments have a critical role to play," he added.

Having observed with keen interest and participated in the XVI already another gone by event, I went back to the memory line and though after the impact this another event has created on the African people.

Will it become another one of the numerous AIDS summits that we expect before the end of dilemma? The people here are dying and other people are making decisions on how to deliver what is on ground? It is sad to note that the people still think Africa as the village of old, believe you me, things have changed here and things are still changing, here people are indoctrinated without asking why? Why? no body cares provided the elastic limit is not exceeded".

The final press release from the AIDS 2006 website read thus: "XVI INTERNATIONAL AIDS CONFERENCE CLOSES WITH CALL TO DELIVER ON UNIVERSAL ACCESS TO PROVEN PREVENTION STRATEGIES, HIV CARE AND TREATMENT".

I believe this call should be made to see the people affected in the head of the matter, we need funding for what, to help the people affected and to provide Universal access but the people are scantly represented and given the voice to talk and barred.

I challenged Journalists to become informed and educated on the matter to prepare themselves for the challenges ahead, now that people have made their promises and have become increasingly difficult a matter to handle by the civil societies who hardly work.

As According to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), at the end of 2005 an estimated 39 million people worldwide were living with HIV/AIDS, the vast majority in developing countries. Last year,
4.1 million people became newly infected with the virus, and 2.8 million died of AIDS-related illnesses. Of the 6.8 million people living with HIV in low- and middle-income countries who are in need of antiretroviral medication (because the level of deterioration of their immune systems warrants beginning treatment), only 24% (1.6 million total) have access. The treatment access gap is even greater for children under 15. Just 8-13% of the 800,000 children in need of HIV treatment have access. Fewer than one in five-4% to 16%-of people at high risk for infection have access to effective prevention.

We have an enormous task to face especially reaching the people from Africa and Asia with this gap, but not until the world understand that health is wealth and that HIV is not a money making event, Indeed, tomorrow will laugh at us if we fail to deliver today as we promised!

Do we need the Local government system of government in Nigeria,make you views

Events of the past 43 years of Nigerian independence have indicated that despite our great huma and natural resources,the government has not been able to fulfil the legitimate expectations of the masses.Nigeria has been lifted to drift and mess.This situation,if not arrested would inevitably have resulted in chaos and even bloodshed.

I call on the great Nigerian youths to stand up and unite make a difference or we face perishment......
