Virtually impossible to pick one... but let's see...

I've been keeping my eye on The Global Poverty Project for a while now. As we all know, our new Prime Minister Cameron, along with the world's leaders, will be gathering in New York in September to assess the progress in achieving The Millennium Development Goals. If you're not familiar with the eight goals, here they are:

1. Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger

2. Achieve Universal Primary Education

3. Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women

4. Reduce child mortality

5. Improve maternal health

6. Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other diseases

7. Ensure environmental sustainability

8. Develop a Global Partnership for Development

This project is asking us to choose which goal we feel needs the greatest attention. Now some might say this is an exercise in futility but seeing the general consensus could be very revealing. All the issues since 2000 have had major improvements but it's evident that some areas are still failing. The new government has said that they will "create new mechanisms to give British people a direct say in how an element of the aid budget is spent." So by making a choice through The Global Poverty Project we can all make our voice heard. And this may make for a very interesting Review Summit.
