This World Forum 2007 will attempt to assess and review the progress made so far and shall discuss and deliberate on how children can gain from the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals.
It also proposes to address contemporary issues vis a vis the Millennium Development Goals and its impact both positive and negative and promote awareness as well as challenge the civil society and Governments to achieve these goals.
This gain will be substantial only if children’s voices are heard; their domestic conditions are improved, if distortions in international markets are corrected, and if more representative institutions of local and global governance are created. In the absence of these changes, the Millennium Development Goals will benefit only a minority of the world’s children.
UN Millennium Development Goals
- Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
- Achieve universal primary education
- Promote gender equality and empower women
- Reduce child mortality
- Improve maternal health
- Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases
- Ensure environmental sustainability
- Develop a global partnership for development

Upholding Child Rights Convention (CRC) principles, it works for child rights in the wider frame of development with justice. It leads the national process of NGOs working for child rights review and reporting, and is a lead alliance for trans-Asia and South Asia networking on children’s rights as a development priority.
