This month, the Millennium Villages Project launches its second five-year stage on the way to the MDGs target date of 2015. Around Africa, and now around the world, governments are scaling up the lessons from this particular project and others like it: empower communities, help them to invest in their futures using cutting-edge technologies, and thereby end extreme poverty.
本月，千禧村计划公布了其第二个5年计划，该计划将延续到2015年千禧发展目标截止期。环顾非洲以及世界，如今各国政府正在复制千禧村及类似计划：提升社区实力，帮助它们使用尖端技术为未来投资，从而终结极端贫困。千禧发展目标曾经被视为仅仅是一组希望和愿景。如今我们知道，这实际上是一条走出贫困的实践地图。
