Known collectively as the MDGs, these time-bound targets were set at a 2000 UN Summit and aim to tackle major global problems such as poverty, illiteracy and hunger. MDG 8 zeros in on developing a global partnership for development and making the benefits of new technologies widely available.
With the theme of “A Better Generation in the Making,” the conference will be held 1 April to 3 April in Muscat, the Omani capital.
In addition to UNDP, other UN agencies backing the gathering are the UN Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) and the UN Economic Commission for Latin American and the Caribbean (ECLAC).
During today's press conference, the Omani Ambassador to the UN, Fuad Al-Hinai, said the Summit will give government officials, business leaders and educators a forum to share ideas and forge new partnerships that will help people living in emerging markets from Asia to Africa to the Middle East.
The Summit is being coordinated by the Global Leadership Team, a private organization based in the United States.
