The Millennium Development Goals in Latin America and the Caribbean. Challenges, Actions, and Commitments
By SDS (01/04, En, Es) See also Poverty and Inequality
The commitment to the Millennium Development Goals and their adaptation to the specific conditions of the region provide a significant opportunity to create consensus at the international level, particularly between the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, and the donor countries and multilateral development agencies, on the high priority that must be given to efforts aimed at identifying effective tools and solutions for improving the assets and opportunities offered to the poorest and the excluded. We believe that advances in education, progress toward gender equality, and improved health services, together with environmental sustainability in the region, are essential for reducing poverty.
Reaching the Millennium Development Goals demands a broad set of coherently articulated policies and programs so as to avoid dispersion of resources, duplications, and even potential incompatibilities. In order to achieve this policy and program coherence in the support that the IDB provides to countries, the Bank is working to integrate the Millennium Development Goals into all its activities with the borrowing countries. This CD-ROM is an integral part of this effort at dialogue and collaboration between the Bank and its member countries aimed at achieving the Millennium Development Goals in Latin America and the Caribbean.
