The Millennium Development Goals are a unifying platform to address challenges faced by the poorestand to achieve social cohesion of societies across the world. At the same time, they represent a broaderagenda for the future development of nations. Millennium Development Goal targets are fully integratedinto the long-term strategies and programmes of many countries, which gear their economic, social andenvironmental policies towards these key Goals.Ukraine, having joined the United Nations Millennium Declaration a decade ago, together with 189 othercountries, has made a commitment to reaching the MDGs by 2015. There are just five years left until2015 – the deadline for fulfilling our commitments.In recent years, significant changes have taken place in the world. The number of unemployed personson the planet has grown by 34 million; for the first time in the history of humankind, over 1 billion peopleare starving; poor access to clean water and sanitation continues to present risks of deaths from infectiousdiseases. Ukraine, along with other countries, has felt the negative impacts of the recent financial andeconomic crisis, which neutralized its reconstructive growth over 2001–2007.The time for change has come. To respond to people’s expectations, we will follow a course towards reformand towards systemic modernization of the country. The Economic Reform Programme for 2010–2014,‘Prosperous Society, Competitive Economy and Effective Government,’ adopted following extensive publicdiscussion, encompasses all spheres of public life and will establish the necessary preconditions for fulfillingobligations related to the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals.Key priorities of this programme related to improving the living conditions of Ukrainian citizens are basedon the revised system of targets and indicators of the national Goals. We support any effort to look for newways to address the challenges presented by the globalized world.Ukraine is initiating large-scale economic reforms at a difficult time. At the same time, it is not only ourcountry fighting to overcome the crisis but the whole world. A search for new progressive developmentmodels is underway, for new ways to ensure human development aimed at the achievement of theMillennium Development Goals.This is a challenge for the whole global community. And it is also an opportunity for the renewal andprosperity of our country.VIKTOR YANUKOVYCHPRESIDENT of UKRAINE4MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS. UKRAINE – 2010
When 189 world leaders met at the United Nations and endorsed the Millennium Declaration in September2000, they made a strong commitment to work together to build a safer, more prosperous and moreequitable world. The Declaration was translated worldwide into a roadmap setting out eight time-boundand measurable Goals, known as the Millennium Development Goals, to be reached by 2015. Theirimportance cannot be overstated. Ukraine adapted the global MDGs at the national level in 2003.This year marks a decade of progress towards the MDGs. The results have been uneven across all Goals andwithin regions and nations. Ukraine has reduced absolute poverty and has made progress in achievingthe targets set for education, maternal health and child mortality. At the same time, the relative povertyrate remains unchanged and reducing gender inequality continues to be an area where progress needs tobe achieved. While meeting the environmental Goal is proving to be a challenge, the rapid growth of HIVinfections, the increase in AIDS-related mortality and the spread of tuberculosis also remain critical areasin reaching the MDGs.While it is clear that these are challenging times for all countries, and in particular for Ukraine, achievingthe MDGs is possible, given an adequate level of commitment, efforts and resources. Creating effectivenational policies and developing capacities and ownership are essential to further empowering the peoplein Ukraine and improving their standards of living.There is a range of tried and tested policies that can help Ukraine reach its commitments. These policiesinclude fostering inclusive economic growth, ensuring equal access to quality health and education andscaling up HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis interventions. Improving social protection targeting, increasingemployment opportunities, fostering climate change mitigation and focusing on biodiversity conservationmust continue to be regarded as absolute priorities.Let us use the next five years to improve the lives of all.OLIVIER ADAMUN RESIDENT COORDINATOR in UKRAINEMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS.
