  3. The Cinderella of human history “ The MDGs are in many ways the Cinderella of international development.160 world leaders who met at the UN in Sept. 2000, were inspired to adopt the Millennium Declaration……such declarations are usually photo ops and little more. The MDGs, however, have become the belle of the ball… …the MDGs can become the historic fulcrumfor eliminating extreme poverty. Jeffrey D. Sachs   May 27, 2010  

  4. The MDG bold promise to human kind “ We will spare no effort to free our fellow men, women and children from the abject and dehumanizing conditions of extreme poverty, to which more than a billion of them are currently subjected. We are committed to making the right to development a reality for everyone and to freeing the entire human race from want”U.N. Millennium Declaration, Sept. 2000

  5. The MDG unkept promise at global level “It is clear that improvements in the lives of the poor have been unacceptably slow, and some hard-won gains are being eroded by the climate, food and economic crises" UN SG Ban Ki-moon Millennium Development Goals Report, 23 June 2010. “
