28.06.2007 "Gli italiani chiedono con determinazione che nel prossimo DPEF si rispettino gli impegni presi dall'Italia per raggiungere lo 0,7% del Pil in Aiuto Pubblico allo Sviluppo". Lo affermano, in base a un'indagine commissionata alla Doxa, la Focsiv e la Campagna per gli Obiettivi del Millennio. La Focsiv ha inviato nei giorni scorsi una lettera al Presidente del Consiglio, Romano Prodi, per chiedere che nel documento di programmazione economica (Dpef) di fine giugno "ci sia un inversione di rotta rispetto alla destinazione delle risorse pubbliche in favore alla lotta alla povertà nel mondo". La Campagna del Millennio, durante una conferenza a Roma in cui è intervenito Kofi Annan, ha chiesto al Governo di rispettare gli impegni presi in sede internazionale per il raggiungimento degli Obiettivi del Millennio per sconfiggere la povertà estrema. Anche la Viceministro per la cooperazione, Patrizia Sentinelli, ha chiesto al Governo di aumentare di circa il 50% Aiuto Pubblico allo Sviluppo che l'Italia devolve.

Bambino africano a scuola - da Save the children
21.06.2007 In base al trend degli ultimi anni che registra l’iscrizione a scuola di circa 4,2 milioni di bambini in più ogni anno, il secondo Obiettivo del Millennio non verrà raggiunto entro il 2015. Se la media annuale non subirà un forte incremento, per quell’anno saranno ancora 30 milioni i bambini che non avranno un’educazione di base. E’ quanto emerge da un nuovo dossier di Save the Children, secondo cui il progresso complessivo anche degli altri obiettivi, fissati dalle Nazioni Unite nel 2000, è troppo lento e rischia di fallire. Il rapporto sottolinea come una posizione di particolare rilevanza assume il secondo degli obiettivi, che mira ad ottenere l’Educazione Primaria Universale: investire nell’istruzione, soprattutto nei paesi più deboli, equivale a dare un forte impulso al raggiungimento di tutti gli Mdg (Millemnium Development Goals – Obiettivi di Sviluppo del Millennio).
