UN Millennium Development Library:Investing in Development: A Practical Plan to Achieve the Millennium Development Goals
Author: Jeffrey D. Sachs
ISBN: 1844072177
Price: Kshs. 4,270.00
$56.33
Poverty in all of its forms is devastating the lives of billions of people world-wide. In 2000, at the largest ever meeting of world leaders, the UN adopted a comprehensive set of targets known as the UN Millennium Development Goals (MGDs) designed to galvanize world action on poverty. Investing in Development brings together the core recommendations of the UN Millennium Project, commissioned by UN Director-General Kofi Annan and directed by Jeffrey D. Sachs, one of world's leading economists. This landmark publication is the official action plan for ending poverty, providing practical investment strategies and approaches to financing them and an operational framework that will allow even the poorest countries to achieve the MDGs within ten years. |

UN Millennium Development Library: Trade for Development
Author: UN Millennium Project
ISBN: 1844072290
Price: Kshs. 5,630.00
$74.26
|
| |
| The current international trading system is stacked against developing countries, a situation that severely hampers development and ongoing attempts to eradicate poverty. Trade for Development presents the framework necessary to correct this imbalance and give developing countries greater economic growth potential and a more effective capacity to defeat poverty. Action on trade, such as the progressive elimination of remaining trade barriers in goods and services, with rich countries leading by example, coupled with enough support for poor countries to bear adjustment costs and build export capacity must be part of the international effort to defeat poverty. |

UN Millennium Development Library: Innovation: Applying Knowledge in Development
Author: UN Millennium Project Task Force
ISBN: 1844072185
Price: Kshs. 5,630.00
$74.26
The use of new sciences and technologies in developing countries is vital in alleviating poverty and human suffering for the long term. Innovation makes a powerful case for development policies to focus on key sources of economic growth, particularly the use of scientific and technological knowledge and related institutional adjustments. It outlines core areas for policy action, including a focus on platform or generic technologies, defining infrastructure services as foundations for technology, placing universities at the centre of local development and improving science education, spurring entrepreneurial activities, improving the policy environment and focusing on areas of under-funded research for development. |
