Reminders

Hey guys,

Remember that you have TWO topics for the paper: MDG 1 AND 8.  It is important to talk about both goals, not just 1 or the other.
There are several parts to goal 8:
Target 8.A:

Develop further an open, rule-based, predictable, non-discriminatory trading and financial system

• Developing countries gain greater access to the markets of developed countries
• Least developed countries benefit most from tariff reductions, especially on their agricultural products

Target 8.B:
Address the special needs of least developed countries

• Aid continues to rise despite the financial crisis, but Africa is short-changed
• Only five donor countries have reached the UN target for official aid

Target 8.C:
Address the special needs of landlocked developing countries and small island developing States

Target 8.D:
Deal comprehensively with the debt problems of developing countries

• Debt burdens ease for developing countries and remain well below historical levels

Target 8.E:
In cooperation with pharmaceutical companies, provide access to affordable essential drugs in developing countries

Target 8.F:
In cooperation with the private sector, make available benefits of new technologies, especially information and communications

So, if you cannot find much information about international actions for goal 1, you can focus on international actions for goal 8.  However you must relate the two goals.
And remember that there is always GOOGLE.  Try researching ¨Cambodia international actions poverty¨or ¨egypt international resolution poverty¨ or ¨denmark conference hunger¨, etc etc.
