Africa-EU Partnership on the Millennium Developments Goals
Many countries in Africa are confronting particular challenges in meeting the targets of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015, and will require a broad range of strengthened efforts to meet those targets. Such efforts must include effective action to tackle the shortfalls in policy, predictable financing, data collection and implementation capacities. Children, gender, HIV/AIDS and the environment will be addressed as cross-cutting priorities.
This Africa-EU Partnership will serve as a forum for intensified continent-to-continent policy dialogue, cooperation and joint action at all levels, with a view to achieving the MDGs in all African countries.
Priority actions:
- Ensure the finance and policy base for achieving the MDGs;
- Accelerate the achievement of the Food Security Targets of the MDGs;
- Accelerate the achievement of the Health Targets of the MDGs;
- Accelerate the achievement of the Education Targets of the MDGs.
