Millennium Promise - MDG Toolkit
Millennium Promise - MDG Toolkit
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are the world's shared development agenda to reduce extreme poverty, hunger and preventable disease. Efforts to achieve the Goals have yielded many successes, yet urgent action still remains if we are to achieve them by the 2015 deadline.
It is critical to understand that government leaders cannot solve global challenges on their own any more. In today's much flatter world, it is everyday people – and, critically, their personal networks – who have the potential to be the world's big new problem solvers. Post-disaster emergency responses in recent months have vividly displayed the need for coordinated best efforts from non-profits, companies, individuals, online communities, governments and the UN system. The same mindset of partnership, urgency, and "all hands on deck" is also required to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, the world's integrated targets for tackling extreme poverty by 2015.Millennium Development Goals must be met

Protecting the world’s plant resources from pests
www.ippc.int
IPPC - the International Plant Protection Convention - is an international agreement on plant health with 177 current signatories. It aims to protect cultivated and wild plants by preventing the introduction and spread of pests. The Secretariat of the IPPC is provided by the Food and Agriculture Organization.
Who we are
Livestock, Environment and Development: LEAD Home
The LEAD (Livestock, Environment and Development) initiative is an inter-institutional consortium with the secretariat located within FAO. The work of the initiative targets the protection and enhancement of natural resources affected by livestock production while at the same time alleviating poverty.
The work of the LEAD initiative focuses on the close and complex interactions between government policies and the environmental impact of livestock production. Its scope is to support the formulation and implementation of effective policy frameworks, at local, national and global levels.
To this effect, LEAD conducts analysis and maintains databases to monitor and estimate the consequences of livestock sector’s growth and structural changes. It also identifies technologies to mitigate the negative effects and maximise the positive effects of different modes of production, and assesses ways to enhance their development and adoption.
From 2000 to 2007, LEAD operated as an FAO project supported by the World Bank, the European Union (EU), the Ministère des Affaires Etrangères (France), German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development via GTZ (Germany), the Department for International Development (United Kingdom), the US Agency for International Development (USA), the International Development Agency (Denmark), the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (Switzerland) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

World Malaria Day 2011 , theme, “Achieving Progress and Impact,”
In 2000, an estimated 350 million to 500 million clinical cases of malaria occurred worldwide and more than 1 million people died from the disease, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). By 2009, there were about 225 million cases of clinical malaria and 781,000 deaths. Decreases in cases of malaria occurred in all affected regions, with the greatest decline in the number of malaria deaths occurring in Africa. Furthermore, in 2010, WHO certified that two countries, Morocco and Turkmenistan, had eliminated malaria—that is, reduced the incidence of infections in their countries to zero. Although these numbers reflect significant improvements, the global burden of malaria remains far too high and will require sustained and coordinated efforts from the international community to reduce it further.

Marking World Malaria Day, UN calls for intensified efforts against kill...
United Nations, New York, 21 April 2011 - The world must dramatically step up its existing efforts to conquer malaria if it is to reach the goal of near zero deaths from the disease -- which, despite being preventable and curable, currently kills almost 800,000 people every year -- by 2015, the United Nations warns today.
Ahead of World Malaria Day, which is officially observed on Monday, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said the goal will not be met unless there is "an extraordinary intensification" in two key areas.

World Intellectual Property Day 2011 – Designing the Future
The intellectual property system encourages designers to produce attractive items that are easier, more comfortable and safer to use, by helping to protect original designs against unauthorized copying and imitation. In international markets, companies need to be able to protect their designs quickly and cost-effectively in several countries. WIPO’s Hague System for the International Registration of Industrial Designs - which simplifies that process – enjoyed record growth in 2010.

Arthropods of Economic Importance Agromyzidae of the World
The Agromyzidae (mining flies) are a highly diverse dipteran family of exclusively phytophagous species. The world fauna consists of about 2,750 species. Of these, some 110 species are known to occur on cultivated crops. A number of species are of particular importance, especially Liriomyza and Ophiomya.

The Chironomidae form a cosmopolitan family of small nematocerous flies represented by some 1,300 species in the West Palaearctic Region. Chironomid larvae are widely distributed and the vast majority have aquatic juvenile stages which, on average, comprise one third of the invertebrate species in freshwater habitats. This usual abundance, and the fact that a number of species are pollution-tolerant, make chironomidae ideal indicator species in monitoring the quality of surface waters.
