The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are a United Nations partnership
initiative to eradicate extreme poverty and other forms of disadvantage and
human crises by 2015. Some progress has been made but major gaps are
evident, for example in official development assistance, market access
(trade), debt relief, gender equality, access to essential medicines and
access to technology. The global financial crisis, rising food prices and
climate change have significantly impacted achieving the MDGs. This
conference will critically engage the Millennium Development Goals and the
processes or rather possibilities for change. One key aim is to bring
together development practitioners, academics, policy makers and the
business community.

We now invite theme abstracts, paper abstracts, poster presentation
abstracts and other forms of practitioner submissions for the conference
that address conference objectives of innovation and reflection, Building on
success and creating new partnerships for effectiveness.
