Today, we live in a world where, despite all the advances in science, technology and the economic progress that many enjoy, more than 1.2 billion people on our planet continue to struggle to survive on less than $1 dollar a day, without enough to eat and without the chance of a decent livelihood. The development challenge has never been greater and the need to engage people in addressing the issues that can help tackle the global challenges we face, never more vital.
The Goals are ambitious, but they are achievable if we all ~ young and old, rich and poor, women and men ~ put them at the center of our national and global efforts.

 WFUNA is actively supporting the Global Millennium Campaign. Since the proclamation of the Millennium Declaration in 2000 by governments at the highest political level, WFUNA has regarded its implementation as core business of the United Nations system and has been actively mobilizing civil society to engage in partnerships for this purpose. The challenge this year is to ensure that the momentum for UN reform leads to real changes being agreed to by the Heads of State and Government when they meet in New York in September 2010 for the ten-year review of the Millennium Development Goals and the Millennium Declaration. United Nations Associations around the world are well positioned to encourage their governments to support reforms needed to revitalize the United Nations system, and ensure it is better equipped to deal with the scale and complexity of globalization in the 21st century.
