This report examines key developments in 2005 and monitors progress toward meeting the main MDG targets. As with past Global Monitoring Reports (GMRs), it reviews international efforts to support the Millennium
Declaration, including new commitments by donor governments to augment aid flows and commitments by the international financial institutions (IFIs) to improve their effectiveness.
Press Release
Progress On Millennium Development Goals Suggests Global Effort Working, Says World Bank-IMF Report
Reduced child mortality, increased school enrolment, and lower poverty signal that better governance, increased aid, mutual accountability bearing fruit, says Global Monitoring Report on the MDGs

WASHINGTON, April 20, 2006 Evidence of reduced child deaths in nine out of 10 developing countries surveyed, rapid gains in primary school enrolment, and reduced HIV/AIDS infection rates in several countries suggest that strong economic growth, backed by improved policies in developing countries and increased aid, is delivering results in some countries.
This third annual Global Monitoring Report on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), subtitled Strengthening Mutual Accountability Aid, Trade and Governance will be presented at the World Bank-IMF spring meetings this week. It highlights economic growth, more and better quality aid, and trade reforms, as well as governance as essential elements to achieve the MDGs.
The eight MDGs, which call for halving between 1990 and 2015 the proportion of the world's people living on less than $1 a day, and reducing child mortality and HIV/AIDS, among others, were approved by 189 world leaders in 2000. The Global Monitoring Report reviews progress on implementation of a compact between developed and developing countries in Monterrey in March 2002, in which developing countries agreed to improve their policies and governance, while developed countries pledged to increase and improve their aid, and provide developing countries with more access to their markets.
