MDGs: Rich Countries Urged to Help
The attainment of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) on poverty, hunger, education, maternal and child deaths and climate change would remain elusive to poor countries without the support of developed countries. That’s according to the Tanzanian foreign affairs and international cooperation minister, Bernard Membe.
Membe argues that with only five years away from the deadline, there are serious gaps in the realisation of commitments on MDG 4 and 5 on the part of developing countries, including Tanzania.
Membe calls for concerted efforts by developed countries to assist poor countries to meet their commitments, adding that, “The funding gap on commitments by developed countries to Africa alone is over US$16 billion.”
