Millennium Development Goal 8 aims to build a global partnership for development.
This eighth goal is very important as it complements the other seven. Although it
is essential that developing countries direct their own development and implement
policies to achieve the other seven goals, the eighth goal shows what the world could
do as a ‘community’ to aid this development. The important issues which need immediate
attention to achieve MDG targets are as follow.
Develop further an open, rule-based,
predictable, non-discriminatory trading and financial system.
Address the special needs of landlocked countries and Small
Island developing States.
Deal comprehensively with the debt problems of developing countries
through national and international measures in order to make debt sustainable
in the long term.
Develop donor support for and commitment towards good governance, development,
and poverty reduction - both nationally and internationally.
In co-operation with developing countries, develop and implement strategies
for decent and productive work for youth.
Provide access to affordable essential drugs on a sustainable basis to all.
Here the good governance includes support of international organisation, government
policy, active bilateral and multi lateral cooperation, effective participation
and support for common cause.
In co-operation with the private sector, make available the benefits of
new technologies, especially information and communications
Multi-Stakeholder Participation includes active participation of central
government, state government, local government, private sector, CBOs, NGO
and International organisation.
