Millenium Development Goals |
 |
In September of 2000 the international development community held the Millenium Summit where measures to solve new challenges that confront mankind were discussed and established development goals to reduce poverty. The result of that summit was the adoption of the Millenium Declaration which later developed to the Millenium Development Goals(MDGs). This agreement acknowledges the elements of basic life needs and presents 8 main goals and 48 specific goals that the international community must achieve by the year 2015. As part of the efforts to achieve MDGs, the international community has adopted the Monterrey Consensus which induces raise in the amount of ODA and to secure development resources. In 2005 the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness was announced to put focus on result-based management and progress. Despite these accomplishments the possibility of achieving the goals by 2015 looks grim as it was presented in the mid-term evaluation of 2007. Since the participation of MDGs Korea has continuously increased the amount of ODA but it is still far insufficient to the level that the international community suggests. As Korea becomes a member of OECD/DAC the efforts to expand the amount of ODA to the demanded level and to implement the goals must be carried out without delay. |
