Overview

From the last UN General meeting organize in New York, United State of American, world leaders has fully awaken to their collective responsibilities and the pledge, commitment and support that they owe to their various country. With doubt in our heart if Africa will achieve its own part of the Millennium Development Goals come 2015 calls for active involvement and collaborative approach, as earlier stated by President Bingu wa Mutharika of Malawi:

"The Millennium Promise partnership can evolve into a platform onto which we can achieve international solidarity to meet the challenge of global financial crisis, food shortages, poverty and under-development. We must all believe that the world is one and that the problems are always lighter when they are shared." UN General Assembly September, 2009.

We believe the ‘Community’, working together with the assistance of ‘Global Partners’ can be a better platform in facilitating and fast tracking developmental activities.

The MDGs can then be said to gain positive impact when this duo strategically implement and align plans, projects and policies that is transparent, accountable, effective, efficient, logical, with a time frame, clear vision and a define goals. Looking at the situation at hand, we just have five years to go from 2010, the need to strategically involve NGOs, FBOs, Government agencies, Donors, the community, Stakeholders, Civil society group to brainstorm on topical issues militating against development and the achievement of the MDGs in Africa thus become necessary.

“It is not in the United Nations that the Goals will be achieved.
They have to be achieved in each country by the joint efforts of the
Governments and people.”
Former United Nations Secretary General, Kofi Annan
