MDG Awards Committee events support and raise awareness of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The highlight annual New York-based ceremony provides a high profile platform to honour and celebrate exemplary efforts by national governments and civil society stakeholders in contributing toward the achievement of the MDG goals. Local and partnership events provide an opportunity for recognition of community projects and leadership.
We are pleased to recognize South-South News as Underwriter for the 2010 MDG Awards and we proudly acknowledge the ongoing support of the Jack Brewer Foundation and South South News.
We will support the Millennium Development Goals, and approach next year's Summit with a global plan to make them a reality. And we will set our sights on the eradication of extreme poverty in our time
