Report on the implementation of regional and international agendas: review of global partnership for development in West Africa (MDG 8)

Abstract

The millennium declaration adopted by the United Nations general assembly in 2000 gave fresh impetus to global partnership for the development of poor countries on the planet. Strategic pillars were defined to support development actions in the world in general, and in developing countries in particular. These strategic pillars cover areas as varied as peace, security and disarmament, socio-economic development and the elimination of poverty, environmental protection, human rights, democracy and good governance and protection of vulnerable groups. The purpose of this report is therefore to assess the situation of global partnership for development in west Africa as stipulated in the various components of MDG 8, as well as draw lessons and make recommendations for the beneficiary countries and the donors, so as to accelerate the implementation of international commitments towards the achievement of MDGs.
