IN MOZAMBIQUE, BAN CALLS FOR PUSH TO ACHIEVE MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT
GOALSNew York, May 20 2013 1:00PMSecretary-General Ban Ki-moon today
emphasized the importance of countries stepping up their efforts to
achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) before their 2015
deadline and stressed developing countries like Mozambique have the
most to benefit from accelerated action.

"The MDGs have mobilized Governments as never before. They have
catalyzed dynamic new partnerships. And – most important – they have
achieved results," Mr. Ban
<"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=6828">said at a
roundtable event in Maputo, Mozambique on the anti-poverty targets and
post-2015 development agenda.

Agreed by world leaders at a UN summit in 2000, the eight MDGs set
specific targets on poverty alleviation, education, gender equality,
child and maternal health, environmental stability, HIV/AIDS
reduction, and the creation of a Global Partnership for Development –
all by a deadline of 2015.

"The MDGs were a pledge – a global promise – to help countries like
Mozambique to drastically cut poverty and hunger... to reduce
vulnerability… to empower women and girls… to improve the health of
people and the environment," Mr. Ban said. "Today, six hundred million
people have risen from extreme poverty."

Mr. Ban stressed that while much progress has been made since 2000,
not all goals are on track to be achieved by the self-imposed
deadline.

Mozambique, for example, has made progress in getting most children
early schooling, providing its population with access to water and
sanitation, and boosting women's participation in the Government,
where 40 per cent of parliamentarians are women.

However, more than half the population is below the national poverty
line, more than 40 per cent of children are stunted or undernourished,
and HIV/AIDS is still a major challenge, among other issues.

"Around the world, wherever we look, the MDGs have brought success.
But not complete success. Achievements vary among and within
countries. Globally, we are lagging badly on some targets – especially
sanitation, which poses a major threat to the health of people and the
environment," he said.

"As we look forward to the post-2015 development agenda, our first
task is to fulfil – as far as possible – the promise of the MDGs."

Mr. Ban reaffirmed the UN's commitment to work with Mozambique and
other developing countries to help them accelerate their progress. He
also emphasized that the post-2015 development agenda will need to be
inclusive and address sustainable development issues such as climate
change.

"There are less than 1,000 days to go before the end of 2015. Less
than 1,000 days of action. We must focus on where we are falling short
and accelerate momentum," Mr. Ban said.

"By investing in essential infrastructure and its people – its small
farmers, its children, its teachers – Mozambique can be an example for
Africa and the world," he added.

Mozambique is Mr. Ban's first stop in a five-country journey through
the African continent. He will go on to the Democratic Republic of the
Congo (DRC), Rwanda, Uganda and Ethiopia, where he will attend the
African Union Summit.May 20 2013 1:00PM
