The global partnership for development in retrospect

In this report, the MDG Gap Task Force presents the most recent data and policy discussions on the specific dimensions of international cooperation that have been brought together and identified as “Goal 8” of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The Task Force was created by the Secretary-General of the United Nations in 2007 to assess progress in realizing the international commitments covered by Goal 8 and thereby to help the international community focus attention on how to close the gap between commitment and delivery. As the report highlights, there has been further progress on a number of commitments in the past year, but significant backsliding in others. Indeed, a redoubling of effort is required to realize internationally shared goals.
