Tackling rural poverty, together

Extract

This Global Monitoring Report is the first in a planned series of annual reports assessing the implementation of policies and actions for achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and related outcomes. These reports will underpin regular monitoring by the Development Committee, the joint Ministerial body of our two institutions, of progress on the policy agenda; and they will aid the Development Committee in setting priorities for action and defining the accountabilities of the key actors—developing and developed countries and multilateral institutions. The Global Monitoring Report is being published in order to disseminate its findings and messages more widely. We expect to publish these reports each year and to maintain the momentum toward achieving the MDGs by 2015.
