National Millennium Development Goals : A Framework for Action

The new European Union member states are on their way to achieving nationally adapted Millennium Development Goals, although some CIS countries suffer from the same levels of poverty found in Africa and need the same level of assistance from the world community. This report says that renewed commitment from governments and the international community is critical if Eastern Europe and CIS countries, particularly in Central Asia, are to achieve the MDGs by the global target of 2015. The report is intended to serve as a platform for integrating the nationally adapted Millennium Development Goals into country-level poverty alleviation frameworks.
