"I just want to scream 'wake-up people' do something..."

by Hümeyra Imirzalioglu KOÇAK


I am writing to say thank you for being part of the Light Millennium for the  Fall'05 issue and to get a chance to write about the very important issues of  the U.N. World Summit.


The United Nations 58th  Department of  Public Information (DPI)/Non Governmental Organizations (NGO) Conference on September 7-9 agenda was based on an achievable set of proposals outlined in March by Secretary-General Kofi Annan in his report "In larger freedom". It focused on preventing fear and promoting security through human rights education, and efforts to achieve various Millennium Development Goals by NGOs, media and other stakeholders.

The World Summit began on September 14 at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, where more than 170 leaders met to discuss how to help those most in need around the world. The central focus of the world leaders is implementing the Millennium Development Goals(MDGs) include :

1-   Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger

2-  
Achieve universal primary education

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

Civil  organizations and campaigners  indeed  have an important role to urge world leaders to be more concerned  with cutting poverty, increasing aid and reducing trade barriers and debt. I am very happy that Mr.Kemal Dervis has been assigned as Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme . I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate him on his new mission. As we all remember his great implementation reforms pulled Turkey out of a deep financial crises during his term as  Minister of Economic Affairs and Treasury. I'm looking forward to seeing Mr. Dervis promote development programs and achieve the Millennium Goals and pull those countries out of a crisis by 2015. I would hope that UNDP receives the coordination and support to reach the Millennium Development Goals.

It's such a shame to see people, particularly children walking barefoot for miles to find clean water and food in this century where we highly depend on technology.  Every year more than 10 million children die from especially malaria and other diseases. Just imagine more than 1 billion people face extreme poverty living on less than one dollar a day, and more than 20,000 people die every day from extreme poverty and other diseases. (www.un.org/millenniumgoals)

Hopefully, after much debate, world leaders will consider continuing for development goals. We want the heads of State to recognize this and come to some fundamental agreements about how things will change the future.

I just want to scream "wake-up people" do something,  just one dollar can make a big difference in the life of a starving child.
