| Description: | United Nations Millenium Development Goals: End poverty and hunger, universal education, gender equity, child health, maternal health, combat HIV/AIDS, environmental sustainability and global partnerships. "In the 2009 Millennium Development Goals Report released earlier this year, the Secretary-General noted: "We have made important progress in this effort, and have many successes on which to build. But we have been moving too slowly to meet our goals". The 2010 high-level meeting, he hopes, will not only result in a renewal of existing commitments but also can decisively galvanize coordinated action among all stakeholders and elicit the funding needed to ensure the achievement of the Goals by 2015.
