Adopted by UN member states in 2001, the Millennium Development Goals aim to 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 and develop a global partnership for development. Ten years later, we still have much to do. While significant progress has been made in some areas, as much as 27% of the developing world's population lives on less than $1.25 a day (United Nations, 2010). Americans for Informed Democracy is looking for a small group of "MDG Champions" next academic year. Champions will spearhead events about the MDGs on their campus and attend the Millennium Campus Network Summit in New York next September. Selected students will also be paired up with youth activists from Action Aid's global Activista network, to learn about efforts to achieve the MDGs in the Activistas' countries, and coordinate joint activities around global poverty and the efforts that must be made to achieve the MDGs by 2015. Interested in being an MDG Champion? Email Karen Showalter at karen@aidemocracy.org for more information. AIDemocracy is Hiring!
