More details from petition creator
We the undersigned want our government to fully honour its commitment to the world’s poor and to do everything within its power to make sure that UK priorities (as identified by DfID in 2005) for reaching the Millennium Development Goals are achieved. This will mean government spending and political will being focused on helping the world’s poor achieve the MDGs:
1 Eradicate Extreme Hunger and Poverty 2 Achieve Universal Primary Education 3 Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women 4 Reduce Child Mortality 5 Improve Maternal Health 6 Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other diseases 7 Ensure Environmental Sustainability 8 Develop a Global Partnership for Development
In 2000, the UK and 188 other countries committed to achieving the Millennium Development Goals by 2015. Half way to reaching that deadline, not nearly enough progress has been made. If we can find the resources to fight wars overseas and save financial institutions at home, we must find the resources to achieve the MDGs. We the undersigned urge the UK government to meet all our commitments to do so.
