Delivering on the Global Partnership for Achieving the Millennium Development Goals Important gaps remain in delivering on the global commitments in the areas of aid, trade, debt relief, and access to new technologies and to affordable essential medicines.

World Economic and Social Survey 2008

Overcoming Economic Insecurity The World Economic and Social Survey 2008 offers a different perspective on economic insecurity?one that utilizes more proactive and coherent policy responses, at both national and international levels, to help communities better manage economic risks, cope with economic insecurity and secure their livelihoods. WESS 2008 also assesses insecurity posed by weather, natural disasters and climate change; and the inherent insecurity of seeking livelihoods in countries riven by civil wars that on historical trend are becoming longer and more disruptive.
