What is the MDG Summit?
Following a proposal by the United Nations Secretary-General, the General Assembly has decided to convene an MDG summit (High-level Plenary Meeting) on 20–22 September, with the primary objective of accelerating progress towards all the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015, taking into account the progress made towards the internationally agreed development goals (A/RES/64/184). The summit is expected to undertake a comprehensive review of successes, best practices and lessons learned, obstacles and gaps, andchallenges and opportunities, and it aims to generate “concrete strategies for action.” The President of the General Assembly has appointed two Co-facilitators to lead the inter-governmental negotiation process. They will likely begin their work only after the UN Secretary-General releases his report on the MDGs in March. The Co-facilitators are the Ambassadors of Senegal and Denmark to the United Nations in New York.
