The conventional wisdom will tell you that the MDGs targets – reducing poverty and hunger, improving the health of mothers and children, combating HIV/AIDS, increasing access to education, protecting the environment, and forging a global partnership for development – are simply unattainable. In fact, we are controlling disease – polio, malaria, and AIDS – better than ever before, and making big new investments in women’s and children’s health – the key to progress in many other areas.
集体行动从来殊非易事，但要想实现世界终结极端贫困的蓝图——联合国千年发展目标，立即采取行动就显得前所未有的重要。 大多数人会告诉你战胜饥饿和贫困、改善母婴健康、攻克HIV/艾滋病、扩大受教育对象、保护环境和建立全球发展伙伴关系的千年发展目标是可以实现的。 事实上，我们对小儿麻痹、疟疾和艾滋病的控制比以往更出色，同时大力投资于能带来其他增长的关键领域——母婴健康。
