Summary
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) have focused global efforts to improve the lives of the world’s poorest people. Yet many of the crucial targets are in danger of not being reached by 2015, which will have devastating impacts for the wellbeing of children throughout the world. This important report argues that a failure to provide proper care and protection for children is hindering progress in the achievement of many of the MDGs.
