Scaling up What Works I ISSN 2077-5091 Scaling up what works I. Major achievements Annual report 2010 www.mdgcentre.org 1 The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were developed out of the eight chapters of the United Nations Millennium Declaration, signed in September 2000. The eight goals and 21 targets are Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people whose income is less than one dollar a day. Achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all, including women and young people. Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people who suffer from hunger. Achieve universal primary education Ensure that, by 2015, children everywhere, boys and girls alike, will be able to complete a full course of primary schooling. Promote gender equality and empower women Eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education preferably by 2005, and at all levels by 2015. Reduce child mortality Reduce by two-thirds, between 1990 and 2015, the under-five mortality rate. Improve maternal health Reduce by three-quarters, between 1990 and 2015, the maternal mortality ratio. Achieve, by 2015, universal access to reproductive health.

Major achievements Enhancing achievement of the Millennium Development Goals for the continent The historic September 2000 world summit passed a far-reaching resolution to reduce extreme poverty by half, setting out a series of time-bound targets with a deadline of 2015. These are known as the Millennium Development Goals, or MDGs. The eight MDGs address extreme poverty in its many dimensions—income poverty, hunger, disease, lack of adequate shelter and exclusion—while promoting gender equality, education and environmental sustainability. They also include basic human rights, the rights of each person on the planet to food, health, education, shelter and security. These are global targets that are being translated into local action. Amid concerns that most of Africa had gone off track with respect to achieving the MDGs, the Earth Institute at Columbia University, New York, and the UN Millennium Project (UNMP) established the MDG Technical Support Centre in Nairobi in July 2004. Renamed The MDG Centre in 2006, initial efforts focused on policy support at national levels within the pilot countries of the UNMP—Kenya, Ethiopia, Senegal and Ghana. Following the successful completion of the UNMP in late 2006, The Centre broadened its scope of work to include advisory services and support to the Millennium Villages Project (MVP) and to scale up MDG-related interventions to district and national levels in East and Southern Africa. Currently The Centre is operating in eight countries in these regions—Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Mozambique and Madagascar. The unique characteristics of The MDG Centre stem from its access to and partnership with both public and private sectors including: • World-class scientists and research institutions with state-of-the-art knowledge and expertise in the fight against hunger and extreme poverty • Global policy leaders through the United Nations and through regional entities • National policy leaders as a result of hands-on effort through the Millennium Villages Project (MVP) and related initiatives • Global, regional and national business leaders with the expertise and resources to complement public investment and support sustainable economic transformation in Africa, and • Over 500,000 people living in rural Africa, enabling The Centre to learn, document and share actual experiences in fighting hunger and extreme poverty Through these partnerships, The MDG Centre is uniquely positioned to go beyond the rhetoric of development, bringing about real change supported by evidence and based on experience. This is possible only because we operate simultane- ously at multiple levels and scales: global, regional, national, and local. This important characteristic of The Centre is deploying a multisectoral approach, creating synergies and extending benefits that result from investing simultaneously

  • The Mdgs and Sauri Millennium Village in Kenya
    An Island of Success in a Sea of Failure? The MDGs and Sauri Millennium Village in Kenya Amrik Kalsi MBA: Master of Business Administration MSc: Master of Science in Management and Organisational Development MA: Master of Arts A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2015 The School of Social Science Abstract For a number of decades, foreign aid-supported poverty reduction and development concepts, and policies and programmes developed by development agencies and experts implemented since the 1950s, have produced limited short-term and sometimes contradictory results in Kenya. In response to this problem in 2000, the adoption of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) was in many respects a tremendous achievement, gaining unprecedented international support. The MDGs model has since become the policy of choice to reduce poverty and hunger in developing countries by half between 2000 and 2015, being implemented by the Millennium Village Project (MVP) ‘Big-Push’ model, seemingly designed as a ‘bottom-up’ approach. Poverty reduction and sustainable development are key priorities for the Kenyan government and the Kenya Vision 2030 blueprint project. The MDGs process, enacted as the Millennium Village Project (MVP) in Kenya for poverty reduction, is now at the centre of intense debate within Kenya. It is widely recognised that foreign aid maintained MVP and sustainable development through the UN and local efforts, especially in their present form, have largely failed to address poverty in Kenya. Furthermore, not enough was known about the achievements of the MVP model in real- world situations when the MVP model interventions were applied in the Sauri village.

The MVP implemented interventions to cater for the eight MDGs in efforts to accelerate transformation of communities towards modernisation. This paper critically explores the MVP’s ‘quick win’ strategy to achieve the MDGs with a focus on agricultural interventions, implementation and impacts on the local community in Sauri Millennium Village (SMV) in Kenya. The study builds on previous studies (Van Kessel 1998; Mango, 1999, 2002; Hebinck, 2001; Mango and Hebinck, 2004 and Hebinck, Mango and Kimanthi, 2015) exploring socio-technical and agrarian changes in western Kenya. These studies were done way before the MVP was implemented in Sauri, The longitudinal nature of the data allow us to an indepth ex-ante and ex-post situational analysis of the dynamics generated by MVP.

  • Achieving the UN Millennium Development Goals the Contribution of Novartis 2 | Foreword
    Cover Title Cover Subtitle Achieving the UN Millennium Development Goals The contribution of Novartis 2 | Foreword Foreword Achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) would be the most significant political, social and economic success in modern history. In addition to saving millions of lives and improving qual- ity of life for hundreds of millions of people who currently live in poverty, this could be the most important investment in a peaceful and prosperous future for our children and grandchildren. I share the view of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon that humankind possesses the knowledge and resources necessary to achieve the goals set by the world community in September 2000. This is why I am convinced that “achieving the MDGs is possible” – but only if all development stakeholders contribute their fair share in applying best practices and proven policies on a broader scale. Business corporations such as Novartis can contribute in different ways, be it through research and development, innovative marketing practices and investments or through not-for-profit activities. As a good corporate citizen with global reach, Novartis is committed to doing everything in its capacity to contribute to the achievement of the MDGs.

  • P.56 Mitsui's Social Contributions
    Mitsui’s Social Contributions Mitsui, as a sogo shosha, is looked on to give full consideration to its economic role and its social raison d'être. Mitsui is also expected to create value for society not only through its business activities but also to go beyond its main business activities and help to address some of the many issues society confronts. Mitsui's Operational Guidelines for its Social Contribution Policy specifies three areas for focus based on its strengths, know-how, and understanding. These are international exchange, education, and environment. International Exchange and Education Initiatives In order to foster international exchange and help solve various social issues, Mitsui is also actively involved in multicultural coexistence and collaboration activities. For example, since 2005 Mitsui has been assisting Brazilian children of Japanese descent, and is currently providing scholarships to approximately 300 children. We are also supporting Distance Learning courses for Brazilian Educators working at Brazilian schools in Japan and NPOs that help Brazilian residents of Japan. Furthermore, through the Mitsui Bussan do Brasil Foundation, Mitsui is implementing initiatives to expand education and exchange programs in Brazil. Additionally, as part of its initiatives to develop human resources possessing international perspectives, Mitsui has established Mitsui-endowed lecture programs at Peking University and Saint Petersburg State University among others, and has also been assisting Indonesian students in Japan through the Mitsui Bussan Scholarship Program for Indonesia. Supporting Restoration following the Great East Japan Earthquake Since the Great East Japan Earthquake struck on March 11, 2011, Mitsui has sustainable towns and regions, restoration of energy-efficient and been sending relief funds on a global Group basis, donating goods such as the environment-friendly farming, and environmentally sound disposal and solar-powered LED lanterns to Minamisanriku-cho, Miyagi prefecture, food recycling of waste materials.
