"We will have time to reach the Millennium Development Goals – worldwide and in most, or even all, individual countries – but
only if we break with business as usual.
We cannot win overnight. Success will
require sustained action across the entire
decade between now and the deadline.
It takes time to train the teachers, nurses
and engineers; to build the roads, schools
and hospitals; to grow the small and large
businesses able to create the jobs and
income needed. So we must start now.
And we must more than double global
development assistance over the next few
years. Nothing less will help to achieve
the Goals.
United Nations Secretary-General
Kofi A. Annan
