UN ECA magazine, 2005. To coincide with the publication of ‘The Millennium Development Goals in Africa: Progress and Challenges’, this web magazine aims to look specifically at Africa’s ability to meet the MDGs. Not every goal will be met by 2015 but enormous strides can be taken within the coming years. These pages will track progress, highlight positive developments, analyse scenarios and argue that there is no need for despair –Africa can meet the goals with the right policies, resources and commitment.
